Roman Slideshow


Imagery is an effective ICT tool catering for students with visual intelligence inparticular. Linguistic learners too will find the links between the pictures and the captions easier to grasp. However its benefit is not limited only to a couple of intelligences; the use of images in a learning environment greatly enhances the chance that all students have at learning because it provides a visual demonstration of the subject matter. In essence this makes the subject matter a reality as students are able to understand a more tangible link between their very visual world and the academic matter they are being taught. Bringing this element of reality to a students learning is an important thing to do because it grounds the learning onto a more 'everyday' plane. If students believe that the subject will be useful to them, and it is presented in an interesting and engaging manner, such as imagery as an ICT, then students will be more likely to be willing to learn and be engaged by the material. Simply because the subject is a reality to students so to will the learning be if they are properly engaged, ICT tools such as imagery facilitate this process.
