The document discusses the effectiveness of using visual aids and organizers in teaching today's students. It notes that people remember 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, and 50% of what they see and hear. Visual aids can provide interest and motivation for students, increase information retention and learning, aid communication, clarify difficult concepts, help students organize ideas, and save instructional time.

Todays students respond best
to active learning strategies
combined with visual stimulation.
Research shows that people remember:
20% of what they HEAR 30% of what they SEE

Visual aids can be used to:
Provide interest and
motivation for students.
Increase retention of
information and learning.
Aid communication.
Clarify something difficult.
Help students to organise concepts and ideas.
Save instructional time and preparation
time because they can be reused.
When using visuals we should not overlook that:
- Different learners may use visuals in different ways.
- Learners experience different levels of
success in gaining information from visuals.
- More experienced children can more efficiently use
visuals and can better assimilate visual information
than less experienced.
- We should not use visuals that are overly complex.
CD-roms
Flashcards
Flow charts
Diagrams
Graphic organisers
Maps

Understand and
recall information.
Select, transfer and
categorise information.
