Visual Representations in High School Edublogs
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Visuals speak a language of their own. In fact, they can have more impact than words. Whenprepared intuitively, they have the power to overcome regional barriers, in terms of comprehensibility of verballanguage. Easily available at an affordable cost, smart phones with high megapixel cameras have madeeveryone turn into a photographer. In contrast with the difficulties faced in the analog world, today it is wayeasier to click, confirm and document experiments or to click photographs to support the topics being bloggedabout. Besides, the intuitive interfaces of graphic and video editing softwares allow even amateurs to be able to do the basic editing. Social media is saturated with photographs, videos and graphics. However, blogging foreducational purposes is yet to take benefit of this. A survey was conducted to find the preference of educationalbloggers from the high school environment, which included the students, teachers, and other educationalstakeholders, in terms of using verbal or visual content for writing their blogs. Edubloggers preferred to maketheir blogs unique and interesting through verbal content than by using graphics or photographs. The edublogsby students exhibited much more creativity and experimentation with color as compared to the edublogs ofsenior bloggers
