This cartoon is being shown to students of all ages around the world. It covers how education plays such a pivotal role in their lives. They really enjoy it! [link removed]

I thought this was a good site. Our district requires paperwork and meetings that start now if we intend to retain a student. I'm struggling with the decision and found this site useful.
There's an interesting poll at the bottom though it looks like few people have taken it.
There is a cool app for Androids, Algebra Vocal Vocab... it uses voice recognition!!
I was asked recently what I do as a teacher -- DURING a lesson -- when I realize that students aren't understanding.
How would YOU answer this question? What HAVE you done before DURING a lesson when you realize students aren't getting it?

I think the quality of illustrations can be critical to how much classroom materials (texts, worksheets, lesson guides, etc.) appeal to the students. But, I'm wondering how other teachers feel. Obviously, the most important quality is how well it teaches the subject. Illustrations and graphics mean nothing if the rest of the resource is junk.

But, I'm wondering how other teachers feel. Obviously, the most important quality is how well it teaches the subject. Illustrations and graphics mean nothing if the rest of the resource is junk. But, I often look at materials and think about how little they've changed since I was a student (as in, not at all). Meanwhile, many media, like television, video games, "regular" books and online resources, continue to evolve the ways they present information.
I've been wondering if a more modernized approach to the graphic element of these materials would be beneficial- using multidimensional graphics, infographics, and other contemporary design styles (that are still age appropriate and secondary to well-written and informative text, of course).
My position is simply that students have grown accustomed to the flat imagery that is generally used in these materials, like simple illustrations and standard photos, and it's completely out-of-step with all of the other visual stimuli in their lives. If the aesthetic quality of their materials were more "eye-catching" or it presented information to them in a fresh, innovative way, it might spark a greater interest in the material.
What does everyone else think?
