Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

or search the internet for a visual that would demonstrate the concept
bull Consider the quality of the visual

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

see hear and read
Using Visuals Effectivelybull Read through your material slowly

or search the internet for a visual that would demonstrate the concept
bull Consider the quality of the visual
bull Statistics quotes charts and even cartoons can grab attention provoke thinking and conversation
bull Consider the media typendash transparencies PowerPoint printed documents
Using Clip Artbull Donrsquot let ldquoprettyrdquo or ldquocoolrdquo be your criterion
for using it bull Be consistent with stylebull Make sure it supports your content and
your audiencebull Donrsquot use too muchbull Give your readers clues by using color
arrows lines labels etchellipbull Give Credit bull Consider Quality
Using Animationbull Animated graphics (same rules for clip art

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods

Using Visuals Effectivelybull People grasp pictures more quickly than words bull People who visualize information tend to
remember things better bull Give them a visual to associate with an
important conceptbull Use a visual to condense complex informationbull Use visuals to demonstrate a key concept
ndash If the visual is complicated or doesnrsquot clearly demonstrate a main point then it may be a distraction
ndash Include labels arrows highlights to emphasize important parts of the visual
ndash Use visuals appropriately (Why am I using this How does it enhance my information)
Examples
bull Did you notice the animated frog on the last screen Was it distracting Did it have anything to do with my content
bull The next two slides are on the concept of supply and demand Which is easier to understand ndash Having the students read a paragraph of text Or explaining the graph to the students
The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics The price level of a good essentially is
determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand This
point is called equilibrium If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded then there is a surplus of goods If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded the there
is a shortage of goods
