how to specify other symbols for items

Question

I want to give a big symbol to my items as titles, how can do that?

\documentclass[11pt]{beamer}
\begin{document}
 \begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{L'algorithme} %my title
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Try this: \begin{description} \item[L'algorithme] \end{description} Is that what you're trying to do? — Arun Debray, Mar 12 '16 at 20:45
sorry, but not this, this just make my title in blue, i want to change the item symbol because it's a too small bullet — Hind Dev, Mar 12 '16 at 21:01
You can use \setbeamertemplate{items}[triangle] or \setbeamertemplate{items}[square]. — Salim Bou, Mar 12 '16 at 21:27
@HindDev Sorry, my mistake, I didn't notice you were using beamer. — Alan Munn, Mar 12 '16 at 21:29
and beside my title how can I specify? \item [?], my problem is that I have a title of a paragraph, and in the same paragraph I use items so I want for the title something different and bigger — Hind Dev, Mar 12 '16 at 21:29
If you want a numbred items use enumerate environment rather then itemize. — Salim Bou, Mar 12 '16 at 21:32
I can't use enumerate cause my parts aren't in the same frame — Hind Dev, Mar 12 '16 at 21:35

You can use \setbeamertemplate{itemize item}{\large $\blacktriangleright$} to modify labels of items, there are also predefined labels [triangle] , [circle], [square],[ball], which can be used like this \setbeamertemplate{itemize item}[ball].

Code

\documentclass[11pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{madrid}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{L'algorithme} %my title
\end{itemize}
\setbeamertemplate{itemize item}{\large $\blacktriangleright$}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{L'algorithme} %my title
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
