The meatrix



While surfing the net and looking for a web lesson to use for class I found The Meatrix and this great web site with the video and some great lessons about it. The video is quite hilarious, well done and enjoyable for those who saw the movie The Matrix. I just wanted to share it with all of you so you could either laugh about it or get some ideas for your web lesson. This is the URL for the web pages with the video and exercises, and I have also posted the video for me to learn how to do it, and you to see it: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/annie.gwynn/meatrix.htm

I like the idea of watching a piece of a video or movie, or something vary popular, and later build language exercises from it. I would like to apply that for my web lesson the problem is where and how because I don't know yet a place or software that allows me to do so. If you have any input, please comment on this blog.

Video clips can be obtained from YouTube, etc, although you'll have to wade through a lot of irrelevant material to get to the relevant ones. As for language exercises, just use what you know for now. The exercises created to be used in conjunction with The Meatrix was created using Hot Potatoes, which we will work on soon.
