Films vs Text

This is kind of a continuation to my previous post. I said that education in the US is better because of its tehnology aspect; majority of the people are visual learners and it makes it much easier for them to learn from graphs, pictures, videos etc. than from plain text in the book.

When it comes to reading/watching movies for pleasure, I prefer books for the creativity side of it - you are the director of the movie that is palying in your head, and you can let your imagination run wild.

But when studying, because of the fact that we are better visual learners, I consider screening as more efficient because that way it will stick to our brain cells more effectively and it will make it easier to recall the information. And this is where the technology in the classrooms takes place - slideshows, projectors, TV monitors - it is all here to make the school easier and more enjoyable place :)
