The POWER of visuals in the classroom

Throughout my experiences, I have learned about the importance of using visuals in the classroom. For example, bulletin boards in the classroom can be transformed into a teaching tool if used correctly. They should highlight collaboration between the student and the teacher. Therefore, student work should be showcased in order to make students involved in the learning process. Bulletin boards can also be created as a method of communication between the teacher and the student.
Here are some examples of visuals that I have created:

Here is an example of a bulletin board I created with a Junior and Senior Kindergarten class. This bulletin board reflected student's art work. Beside this visual representation was the success criteria: we are learning to express our ideas using different art techniques and materials and we are learning to write our ideas using different strategies.

Here is an example of student work being reflected inside the classroom. The grade three and four students really felt proud of their work.

Here is a visual representation created for a fairytale unit I taught. I created this with grade three students. During this unit, we would draw each element on the blackboard after we discussed and learned about it. This was our final product.
