Educational Tools
Effective Tsunami teaching encompasses providing essential resources regarding relief and current aid; such resources are plentiful via the Internet. Countless sites offer current news on the relief progress, reconstruction projects, as well as past and present personal accounts from victims of the Tsunami. The databank of sites we have collected is a reflection of this.
Beyond this, however, additional sufficient tools to adequately depict the effects of the Tsunami are also crucial to a successful educational provision. Educational tools, then, encompass clear visuals, well thought out lesson plans, and effective teaching methods.
Visuals are an invaluable teaching and learning tool. In relation to the Tsunami, then, several invaluable tools in aiding in Tsunami teachings have been established over the course of the last few months. Multimedia and animation allows viewers to visual the movements of the earthquake and its tsunami effects. One of the more technologically advanced tools in educating on the Tsunami is the use of animation. Using animation, educators can formulate illustrations of the Tsunami’s progress across the Indian Ocean. The use of animation allows for a distinct sense of reality that would otherwise go unfelt.
As well, without the aid of effective lesson plans and provocative teaching methods, visual aids have little effect. Instructional design, creative teaching, and consistent teacher/student interaction are essential to the success of education. Hence, successful educational instruction is paramount in truly conveying the events of December 2004 Tsunami and effectively dealing with its aftermath.
