"Text-to-visual"

  • Reflection: "Text-to-visual"is a good task for students to follow the text description to draw and design their visual in order to let us know their ability of understanding, comprehension and expression. I am sure 'Text-to-visual" can change the lesson to be more meaning and interesting.
  • Reference: Churchill, D. (92006). Towards a useful classification of learning objects. Educational Technology Research and Development. "Educational context in the terms of the definition indicates that a learning object affords use in variety of foreseen and unforeseen circumstance, for example, a teacher may use learning objects as a demonstration and presentation aid", p5.
  • Reference: Gershon, N., Stephen G. Eick, S.G., & Card, S. Information visualization. Interactions, March, 9-15.
    "Visualization provides an interface between two powerful information processing systems – the human mind and the modern computer". p9.
  • Reflection: This picture clearly show how well the child has interpreted the text through visual representation. I agree with Tam Po Yee says (5th March, 2007): "The idea of "text to image" that is a good strategy to help children learn reading and comprehension. It also helps children to develop skills in memorizing information by translating it into images".

I strongly agree that we can present a lot of information in a small screen space, communicate complex ideas through visual simplicity. Visuals include maps, diagrams, drawings, images, icons, symbols, signs, flowcharts, etc. We can make use of clip arts: http://office.microsoft.com/clipart/
