(googleimages.com, 2010)I really like this picture it amazes me.
I got the following definition of image off the website, http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Image
In common usage, an image (from Latin imago) or picture is an artefact that reproduces the likeness of some subject—usually a physical object or a person.
Images may be two-dimensional (e.g. a photograph) or three dimensional (e.g. a statue). They are typically produced by optical devices—such as a cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces.
The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure or illustration, e.g. a map, a graph, a pie chart, an abstract painting, etc. In this wider sense, images can also be produced manually (by drawing, painting, carving, etc.), by computer graphics technology, or a combination of the two (see pseudo-photograph).
I agree with you, an image is a powerful tool in the classroom. It is beneficial for the visual learners, however, with explanation it also becomes a benefit for the auditory learners.
