The importance of Visual Communication within Education through the use of Technology.

This Module has impacted upon my understanding of the importance of using creative ways to communicate information. It has also made me aware of the variety of software made available to use within education. The use of visual communication through technology enables a person to keep focused and learn personally from what is produced. Internet resources such as Wiki Spaces and Seafile,  are excellent for collaborating with others.

Technology is an important aspect in education and should be used to enhance the learning experience. Visual Communication can help learners to understand information being taught. Visual resources can encourage, interest and motivate response.

By producing informative blogs and using Web2 software, educators can support many learning styles especially the visual and auditory. Information can be more easily remembered because the learners have a 'trigger' (picture) in which to access learnt information within the long term memory. Using visual communication brings an interesting dynamic to education which in turn can encourage motivation and concentration.
