The ability for students to continuously visulise their learning is an important aspect for children to develop cognitively. The ability for children to reflect on their learning not only from their memory is a great way for children to enhance their knowledge and skills. This video- digitial story is a great way for a teacher to assess children on particular learning experiences as the teacher is presented with the new views and ideas created by the learning experience. The need for teachers to introduce the use of technology- especially digital stories is vital in the need for students to think beyond the one experiences which will inevitably enhance the knowledge and skills of a child- the true meaning to education!!!

This may involve the sue of Flickr or PowerPoint presentations. It was stated that images allow a child to remember and to process new information into images. This allows a child to continuously recognise what is being learned. As children learn from their experiences, images are able to provide children with these important experiences. i believe images are a great way to introduce a subject, create opinions, encourage critical thinking and stimulate students writing and extend their language. With the use of digital images within specific KLA’s will provide teachers with specific support needed within a lesson. For example, during an art lesson, students curiosity and creativity may be encouraged by images on specific topics or other artists.

However, a teacher needs to take into consideration of what images are chosen, the layout and what description is provided for each image used. This will enable positive use of image within the classroom.

Images will increase the use of the right-hand side of the brain and generate response in the left- the ultimate goal in educational lessons!!!

Think about it???
