Pointers for PD Providers – April 2020

LOOKING FOR PICTURES? FREE IMAGE RESOURCES
There is some truth to the old adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” 
Known as the picture superiority effect, people are more likely to remember pictures than words, and to recall pictures in greater detail. As professional development providers, we are aware of the value of visuals to support learning. PowerPoint slides with row after row of text lead participants to disengage. Whether planning an in-person or a virtual training, obtaining photographs and graphics to complement a presentation can be costly especially without access to iStock, Shutterstock or other commercial sources. Where can free images be obtained? Check out these resources:·
