Engaging students? This is the answer!

Teachers sometimes have difficulty in making students engage in lessons. The main reason is that students feel bored. However, teachers do not have to be concerned anymore. The photo story tools will help teachers make lessons more exciting.


                     

There are a few ways of using the tools for teaching. Especially the tools can be employed in vocabulary and grammar lessons. Since the tools allow users to combine images, texts, and music, students can remember the words and phrases they learn in the class more easily. Grammar section is one thing that teachers care about because students readily get bored.Traditional grammar material is a piece of paper where a lot of questions with a few pictures are presented. However, if the material is created with visual images, texts, and music, lessons would be far more interesting. This will encourage students to keep learning. 

Students can also use the tools effectively. They make thier own story about themselves or summarize what they read or listen during lessons. By doing so, their writing skills can be improved. Since there are many options students can choose, they feel a sense of responsibility and try to make quality work. 

Photo story tools have many advantages in learning as well as teaching. Am I going to use the tools in the classroom? Definitely, yes!
