Images help your message stick in your audience’s minds long after they’ve heard your words. Students now see tens of thousands of images every day so if my instruction is going to gain any traction, a memorable image would be valuable. Any idea I would want my students to think twice about I would want to use an image to reinforce it or even just to awaken their senses.
I think you’re spot on about students seeing so many images each day that whatever images we use for instruction must really be memorable. Would you want your students to find images as well?
I’d definitely want students that were old enough to find their own images and even create or modify them. Seems like they would connect to the material even more if they were involved in finding images that meant something to them.
