Examples of C.I.T. Visuals

Modeling

procedures and thought
processes that help students
see how to perform a
technique or task that is being
taught.
Overhead Projector
A projector capable of
projecting enlarged images of

projector and lighted from
underneath. Students can see
how items are manipulated and
used for lesson purposes.

Hands-On Manipulation
To move, arrange, operate, or
control by the hands or by
mechanical means, especially in a
skillful manner. When students
touch and maneuver contents
such as realia, the higher the
chances are that they will adapt
to long term memory.

Realia

teacher in the classroom to
illustrate aspects of daily life.
This is particularly good for
English Language Learners so
that they can link language and
vocabulary.

image painted, drawn,
photographed, or otherwise
rendered on a flat surface. Can
also be viewed in three
dimensional format.

Demonstration

explanation, of a theory or

or practical application to
make understanding
comprehensible.

such as movies, music, lighting,
CD-ROMs, and the Internet,
for education or entertainment.

key events within a particular
historical period, often consisting
of illustrative visual material
accompanied by written
