Using images when designing teaching for learning can play an important role in one’s learning, for comprehension, engaging in thinking – knowledge, understanding, analysis and evaluation. Images can provoke more senses of the learner and involve a range of learners, especially those who are visual, as well as influencing feelings about a subject.

Going beyond my KLA, comprehension can be made when describing a subject matter, like a human body and how organs are placed and how they function and are used to describe or show different animals, plants, evidence and more, the options are endless.


Using images in my KLA
Creating an expressive artwork that uses images to convey messasges of social, cultural and political.
-  Analytical skills and thought provoking processes
-  Enhancing, refining and applying own learning to make it meaningful.  Students gaining understanding and knowledge of visual content in images as a medium to convey messages, the poster that they create would be purposeful.

There is a pitfall though, if you are not careful on concentrating on pedagogy or activating higher order thinking skills the image will just play aesthetics, “got your attention” role with no depth.
