They Snooze you Lose by Burmark - Chapter 7

In chapter seven, Images, Burmark explains how images and visual content helps the presenter to get the point across to the audience. Sometimes by using one imagine we can accomplish more than explaining abstract content to students that they have no idea how to apply to the real world. Our slides should be illustrative; we need to limit the quantity of words we use in each slide. Having less words and one imagine per slide will help learners to connect content with visuals, and therefore they will remember it easily. Sizing and placing images it is also very important, programs such as Photoshop and iStockphoto are very helpful to resize pictures and to edit them in order to make them illustrative for our presentations. Color can make the difference if we want to emphasize words or content in our slides. We as educators need to remember that adding pictures to our presentations leads to a better recall.
