Video 3: Knowing technology or Knowing How to use it

Assignment 3.2 
Having learned from the videos above, we can see that nowadays the use of technology seemed to be preferred by students for their daily learning activities. They seem to be more familiar with screen than paper. Therefore, it is worth considering that learning materials are provided throught the use of technology. Materials can be provided in the form of text, audio, video, animation and combination of those mentioned.
Below are sample videos of how english are presented through the use of animation. The animation can be a tool for teacher to introduce language or it can also be a medium for students to practice using the tagert language.
So, in that way writing and speaking can be a more interesting activity. So why not try to use animaker yourself. here is the link to animaker https://www.animaker.com/  Then Create a video animation. You can choose to create a recount video, description video, or a procedure video.
Share your video in Youtube and submit the URL here.
