Summary
When presenting theory, combine words with corresponding images or icons. This way, you engage both the verbal process (deciphering words) and the iconic process (deciphering images) in your brain. Thus, you are double coding, and the theory sticks better.
Step by step
• Create a presentation where keywords are supported by images (such as icons that you can easily insert in PowerPoint). • During the presentation, do not read the text verbatim, but let students read the text as much as possible themselves.
Tips
• Free icons at Flaticon • Keep the icons simple and goal-related. Less is more • PowerPoint offers the possibility to add icons
Requirements
PowerPoint or Prezi with icons, photos, pictures
