Reflection: 

I learned with visual symbols we can have an array of teaching materials to choose from. If we decided to commit ourselves in using one visual symbol for every lesson, we will keep our teaching crispy and fresh. Only that this requires preparation and more learning n our part. As teachers we must learn on how to draw, sketch, make diagram, graphs and charts. The computer can now do graphs, the charts and some diagrams. we have to know what software to be used and also we must know on how to manipulate the computer.
