Enhancing Learning With Visuals

Reflect on your experiences as a student learning one of your subjects in high school. Give examples of the different types of digital literacy strategies (encoding/decoding) that you were required to use. How effective was your teacher’s use of visuals in enhancing the learning in your class? Refer to some of the guidelines and principles that we read about in Chapter 8.

   Lets first take a look at my experiences as a student learning.When i was high school, my teacher examined variety types of digital literacy strategist which one is decoding/encoding. My teacher who is biology instructor showed us some visual things when he was teaching photosynthesis. That visual things are watching video or displaying some pictures about photosynthesis. That was pretty effective for us in class. That is why, visual things always take attention from students.

  Today's students read,understand, create and analyze easily whatever they see. So did i when i was in high school.Actually, these visual things promoted my critical view activities.My instructor encouraged us to consider students' visual learning styles in selecting material.He simplified complex concept of subject.While he was doing these things, he used printed materials,computer screens, PowerPoint slides.He used these guidelines.
