The document discusses the benefits of using images in teaching to enhance learning and engagement. It argues that images can improve retention of information compared to verbal delivery alone, as people typically recall 65% of information from verbal and image delivery compared to only 20% from verbal delivery alone. Images can also stimulate attention, prompt curiosity about what happens next, and encourage empathy by humanizing other people and complex concepts. Overall, carefully selected images can effectively convey meaning, stimulate deeper learning, and help connect students to other worlds and powerful emotions that aid memory retention.
