A TWO INTERACTION  USING VISUALIZATION TOOL

CHALLENGE : I work in a NGO which works for environment  protection called Nature Lovers where we go to different schools perform  different parameter. So the challenges I faced during this sessions was  that do the student memorize the same things which I told them verbally,  are they imagining the same thing which I am thinking, that was the  challenge whether the students understood about the parameter which  taught.

SELECTION : So I selected the tool visualization, I thought of  using this tool because I felt that it will help me to stay  connected with students about the parameter which I am  talking. It would help the students to understand the concept  and raise more innovative questions so that session stays two  way interacted.

APPLICATION : I applied visualization tool in one of my  sessions in school, the session named was Plastic Monster  were we explained how plastic is harmful , how much amount  of plastic we consume and how it can be recycled. So the  challenge was that where the students  understanding what I  was talking, to ensure that I used different images of plastic  wastes and displayed them on a huge screen so that students  could see. For instance I mostly focused on recycling of plastic  so I used the images of different plastic bottles which we use in  day to life (for example- soft drink bottle, water bottle, plastic  packaging container ) and present in our house. I myself  clicked the pictures of the plastic containers and displayed  them on huge screen so simultaneously I explained pointing at  picture. I clicked photos of recycle symbol  on plastic container  which shows the grade of plastic this helped the students to  more understand the concept of recycling of plastic and through  this many innovative ideas developed in students mind which  we shared and led to two way interaction.

INSIGHTS : So I gained a trust in students mind that they  understood what I was talking about and could generate ideas  about the topic, this happened only due to visualization tool. I  gained a two communication in my sessions so that students  also talked/discuss about the parameter.

APPROACH : Next time I would try to bring real products and  protypes regarding the topic which I am going to cover and  sometimes try out draw concepts and figures on board.
