Hi Jay, thanks for your comments; I think that enabling students to visualize examples is particularly effective with diverse learners (especially if language is a challenge). A visual aid is one step closer to hands-on application as well. Sometimes I have used photographs as visuals to explain the sequential stages or steps in a process and even have placed the visuals out of order to get students to critically think about putting them back in order. With diverse learners, just as you, I have tried to reach the different learning styles by challenging their visual, auditory and hands-on processes. One curious question, are the photographs primarily demonstrating a stage or process, or do they involve other areas of instruction? Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
