I have just recently finished a post written by Vicki A. Davis titled Is text-only enough for today's students? Throughout this article, she gives you two choices on which tells the story more clearly. You are give a text about it and a picture, video, wedpage, or slide show about it. The purpose is to show that text isn't always the best way to tell a story and I agree. Sometimes, a visual of what happened is the best way for someone to comprehend something. On the news for example, they read the story to you from the text they have written down and then show you a visual (a video of someone standing at the exact spot where this story developed or a picture of the event) which helps people to understand more about what happened. Today, technology is a huge factor in many peoples lives and is very convenient and informative. In school, teachers try to use visuals also to help kids understand the meaning of the story. We watch movies and are showen pictures which really helps us to comprehend what is happening. Around the world, people are using technology to help understand the effents that are happening and the visuals they use are helping them to understand the effents more clearly.
