Teaching With Visual Symbols


       It is used by the teachers for their students inorder to have a better understanding. This is because visual symbols are more understood than words. In  single drawing or illustration, it may express many words. This will help the teacher to have a lively lesson and every lesson, the teaching will be crispy and fresh. Students will be more interactive during your lesson, thus having a life-long learning. Examples of visual symbols are the following:

  a. Drawings- it represents a Real thing. In drawing, your students can express themselves well.

  b.Cartoons- It would be best to, present a cartoon drawing in a class to engage learner in more enjoyable learning. It tells its story metaphorically. It will help to improve learner's ceative thinking for they will interpret what they've seen.
  c. Strip drawings- commonly called comics strip. Learner will find it more entertaining and enjoyable.

The power of film, video, and tv in the classroom


       It is very necessary in the classroom to have a lively and interactive atmosphere. It will help the students to have a lifelong learning. It helps us know the happenings all around the globe. Using these technology in the classroom setting will enhance the learnings of the students.

As teachers, we must apply this in our teaching, students will not get bored and they will be very participative. They will always remember it and theyn would feel as if they are a part of the movie.
