GRAPHIC TOOLS

Have you ever wondered what are graphic tools? Well I can let
you know what I understand about them.

Graphic tools include a number of application that can be used in the classroom. These applications can also be used privately. Some graphic tools include draw/paint programs, image editing tools, charting and graphing tools, clip art, photo and animations.

The graphic tools mentioned can be very useful in the classroom. It will ensure the accuracy of data in terms of the charting and graphing tools. The other programs will make the lessons very interesting and enjoyable. These programs will alllow the students to be very interactive with each other while being very productive.

The program that caught my attention was the graphing and charting tools. This program will ease the teacher and the student from the traditional chart and graph making that demanded manual labour and loads of material. When using the graphing and charting tools you only need the required data and paper if you need to print the chart. the chart can be displayed from a projector if desired. If you lack artistic ability then this is the ideal program for you. The software will allow you to choose the format for your chart and they will design it.

Graphing activities in science, social- studies and geography are a few subject areas that will profit from software graphing and charting tools (M.D. Roblyer,2006). A very useful software that can be used in the classroom to assist students in creating charts is the Advance Grapher.
