Compared to projecting visuals such as videos to the entire
class, each student reflecting upon their past experiences on their own
by using visual data on the computer is more effective. In addition, when
teaching the mentally handicapped, there were many examples in which using
IT equipment instead of paper increased the quantity and quality of the
data used in this reflection exercise. This is also true for the reflection
activity which was done later. |
