Surprise your class withinteractive images

To create your interactive image,you can use an image as a base.

Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Use images in your presentation

Social beings

Narrative beings

We are visual beings

We need to interact with each other. We learn collaboratively.

We teach through stories. They entertain us and help maintain attention.

We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Word detective day!

Then they solve and determine the meaning.

Then they look for context clues

Students find a word that they saw and don't understand at the moment.

Use charts in your presentation...

Incredible Interactivity

Use this space to briefly describe your chart and its evolution. Statistics help to expose and contrast data in a more visual way.

Learning Multiple meaning words

I believe this can be the most challenging strategy in general. If students have a hard time retaining and understanding the meaning of one definition, it will confuse them learning a different meaning for the same word. BUT what may ease this challenging strategy is to go through different phases with them. Present pictures, then provide understandable definitions.

Our brain is designed to consume visual content. And it makes sense: 90% of the information we process comes to us through sight.

Strategies for Word Consciousness

For every subject there can be a word wall for every topic they learn. Especially when students see a word in the text they may not know the meaning to.

Setting Goals (possibly for all students) The teacher and the student set a goal together for the student to learn new words throughout the year

Include additional information and display it with a click. Images make your content more memorable, illustrate what you want to convey and sserve as support to add additional info.

Write a great text by clicking on Text in the left sidebar. Note: the fonts, size, and color should match the theme you are discussing.

Insert a great video

And use this space to describe it. Multimedia content is essential in a presentation to leave everyone speechless.
