Visual Learning

As a Deaf Education Major, I find this weeks technology to be very helpful. Knowing that I will be working with students that rely heavily on visual learning, have the resources to present pictures to them is extremely important. I like the idea of being able to manipulate pictures to point out exactly what I want the students to pay attention to. Also, putting the pictures into a slide show makes it easy for me to present on a topic with "hands-free" technology. If teaching in a Deaf/Hard of Hearing classroom, I may need my hands free to instruct in American Sign Language (ASL).



This picture could be used to introduce the idea of alternative transportation. More and more we see that schools are teaching students about being more sustainable and socially responsible.
