Reflection on Ways to integrate digital images into your classroom

The students at this day and age are accustomed to being overwhelmed with pictures in each facet of their lives. They come across images while watching television, playing on the computer, walking down the street, and even in their school’s classrooms. By means of adding computerized images to presentations, handouts and room decoration, as educators we generate a nature of normality for them. The pictures assist in keeping them interested in the existing subject matter. Imagery is also important during the presentation of new material rather than telling about proceedings or items we are attempting to get the students to relate to or comprehend the lesson at hand. Like the saying goes “ A picture is worth a thousand words”.

  1. I agree with you that a picture is worth a thousand words. It helps children who have cognitive disabilities to grasp the concept at hand they are trying to learn. I feel intergrating digital images into your classroom is extremely important.
