Blog5: Video about Phonics

This video impressed me a lot because it told that video teaching is such a powerful skill for emphasizing the teaching point. When a teacher teaches phonics, he can present the sounds to the students immediately. However, the video with colorful explanation in clear voice supply an impressive model to students. It also can reinforce students' memory and give them interest in learning phonics. Besides, they can review the phonics by seeing the video after class.
