I really like the idea of being able to relate content to pictures. This is relevant in many of the topics in Life Science. We like to have the students do comparisons, contrasts, and show how different things relate to each other. Pictures are a great way to aid in the understanding. I decided to do a venn diagram to show how the 3 different types of cells relate to each other. I would like to find a way to easily add my own pictures or diagrams to be able to show more of the science content in this. I think it would be a good way to have students show their understanding, similar to a poster.
I agree with your comment about being able to add our own graphics/pictures. That would be a great help for the students if we could have something from the book or presentation we had just gone through to trigger that memory once again! Color and pictures all add to solidifying things in students' memories, as we all know--and we know that they need to see/hear things at least 7 times before it 'gets transferred' to the 'aha' stage of memory (that they can then pull out once again)...
