Describe benefits of considering SAMR in a teaching and learning context.
According to the study in the past few weeks, we can learn that staring at a large number of texts or single form materials for a long time will reduce the reception efficiency of our brain. When we study in class, due to our limited time, it is very important to accept and record new knowledge efficiently. Sketch can be used as a perfect multimedia learning method. Sketch has two main advantages.
First, simple and easy to understand: through a simple combination of pictures and a little text description, a long course content can become a small picture.
Second, there is no cost: the tools needed for sketching are only a pen and a piece of paper. These two things that everyone has can record almost any course content.
My sketch simply describes the concept of shorting: Jack borrowed an egg from the rich, but it must be returned within a week. After eating the egg, Jack thought he needed to return it, but he didn’t have enough money to buy a new egg. So he publicized to his neighbors that the hens were ill and the eggs were poisonous. Try not to eat eggs during this period of time. As a result, the price of eggs fell from $1 to $0.50. Jack bought an egg for $0.50 and gave it back to the rich. After a while, the price of the egg rose back to $1. In the process, Jack gained $0.50.
In short, sketching can simplify the original complex text information. Because of the particularity of sketch, it also impresses the brain and is easier to remember.
Hello Yue. Reading your blog, I think you explained the relationship between image and information density very well. Through drawing, people can understand several times more content than words, so teaching should be combined with actual drawing. This tells teachers that they should focus on the visualization of teaching content, rather than long-form articles. In addition, I think your hand-drawn sketch is quite creative. It not only tells a common story, but also tells an economic principle through this story.
I agree that staring at a large amount of text or a single form of material for a long time will reduce the efficiency of our brain’s reception. The combination of graphics and text tends to provide higher learning efficiency, and it can also make us remember.
