Visualizing with Technologies

From what many of us remember was that our favorite day in class was when we got to watch a movie. Now rewind and think, do you remember what movie you watched, what it was about and or related to? Students have been known to be able to retain more knowledge when they have something the can compare to visually. Fortunately, others realize this as well and have made it easier for teachers to get across to their students visually. Such websites as discoveryeducation.com and SAFARI montage are some great examples of what teachers can and do use to help teach their students. On the discovery education website there is so much to chose from. You may search by grade level or subject or even keywords, this makes it easier for you to see what would be suitable for your classroom and easier for the students to understand the content in which you are showing them. In my belief students are at a great advantage with this much information at their finger tips. There is so much to see and plenty of time to show it. Expand your horizons and help other people grow.
