Power of illustrations.

Today I was in a class and teaching Arrays and internally worshiping the idea to teach using illustrations. As the saying goes "A picture speaks for thousand words", I was in comfort zone understanding all of my students in the class --with varying backgrounds-- are comfortable with the topic.

Since I realised the power of illustrations during the lecture time, I always come up with illustrations to teach. Exams and tests later prove that the overall understanding of students increases manifold due to this strategy.
