the answer to your question is BRAINSHARK

and it's FREE!!!

HOW TO USE BRAINSHARK in TEACHING?

1.Teacher can upload their lecture before the class so that they can have more time for activities in classroom.
2. Teacher can share their lecture slides with the students in the website and add their voice over it for further explanation about the slides.
3. Students can put up their homework on this website.It is good for speaking skills and writing skills.Teachers can ask students to tell about themselves by making slides about themselves and narrate about it.It would be more fun rather than talking in class and it is good for shy students.


BENEFIT

WEAKNESS

1.however,it would be little bit hard to ask your students to do it at home as your students might not have internet connection or even computer at home.

2.students who are beginner in IT would find it hard to use,but with tutorial from teacher THIS WOULD BE VERY EASY.

3.there is no real communication,listening to a speaking machine can be boring over time.REAL teaching is always the best but switching teaching method sometimes could be interesting.

Make video for YOUR TEACHING

Can't find suitable video for your teaching?

No worries as Dvolver is here for you

1.So what is Dvolver?

-a website that you can make your own video and it's FREE

-it has variety of background | characters | music that you can choose and the best part is you can write your OWN DIALOGUE but sadly it doesn't has VOICE

2.How to use Dvolver 

it's as easy as that!! so if you want to teach English or any language,you can use the characters in the Dvolver as an example to your students.It is more FUN as students love surprises in teaching,listening to teachers' voice all the time can be boring.=p.Teacher can ask students to make their own video as well because it's very easy,teacher can get students to be more creative and enjoying the lesson but still learning the new things that teacher have been introduces.

so what are the advantages in using DVOLVER in your teaching?

However, DVOLVER has some disadvantages 

• it has limited words limit which can be disappoint to students
• some of the characters are unsuitable for school teenagers.For example,Hottie.However, teacher could direct students on which character to use
• teacher have no control on students' work or sentences,students might come out with harsh or unsuitable words so monitoring and guidance is totally needed

here is a sample of what I've done
