Application in language teaching:

- For students:
- Classroom activities:
b)Giving feedback. Students comment on each others' works. This helps them to reflect on their own learning in which metacognition awareness is raised, further enhances learning.
2. Outside classroom activity:
Enable students to practise pronunciation and tones in presentation before the actual presentation. As they do this, they are more aware of the language use and mistakes since they would usually check their presentation before saving it. This deepen learning as they are able to reflect and raise their metacognitive awareness(Krashen 1985). Another aspects of improvement are fluency, motivation and confidence .
Advantages:
- The account is free and has access to other presentations of various range of topics.This access could be utilised by creating activities using the various presentations available.
- The works can be shared and tracked. This allows teacher to monitor and check individuals works while students can learn from each others' works.
- Fosters creativity in students and active engagement in creating the tasks. Since they can hear their own voice which suggests that their works are being heard, they would be more motivated to do the tasks as the sense of ownership is increasing.
- Encourages shy and intimidate students to try speaking and presenting since there is no face to face audiences.This helps to build their confidence.
Disadvantages and limitations:
- The unfinished presentation cannot be saved and edited later. It will automatically saved as finished presentation. Therefore,if students want to edit the presentation, they need to do the recording again from beginning.
- The audio for each slide on its own cannot be edited at specific minutes. Users need to repeat the recording from the beginning if want to edit the audio.
- The session is limited and users need to login again after certain time. This could disrupt the project progress as any unfinished project will be saved automatically and they need to start again from beginning.
