So why should be use visuals aids and what makes them so effective?

Well, visual aids allow you to organize your presentation and they also enhance the interest and motivation for the audience. Visual aids make sure your audience retains much more of the information you are presenting.

What are some of the concerns we should have when considering to use visual aids?

We have to consider how and why we use certain visuals versus others. When I choose a visual aid, I am considerate to whom the visual is being shown to in order to avoid confusion or offending a certain group. I also make sure that the visual I plan to use is relevant to the topic.

Remember that the simplest visuals tend to have the most impact!!!
