Technology-driven classes

What a relief to find out that there might be more audio-visual equipment available for the students! I am such a fan of technology and I rely heavily on the Internet for resources. I knew that my students will have a hard time paying attention to a plain lecture that is why I always pepper my discussion with PowerPoint presentations, videos and games such as these that made it to the Most Requested List:

Kudos to the creators of these media! My students enjoyed learning because of such innovative materials. Not only do these motivate the children, the recall is amazing. I even heard one boy singing this song in the bathroom. Indeed, technology is such a wonderful thing, if only we do not have to contend with the unavailability of equipment, intermittent connections and power outages. There's so much possibility with technology, and I'm glad we have the means for it.
