In almost any content area in the classroom, the use of images can potentially be effective when attempting to connect students to a cluster of viable information or important resources in a timely and/or non- intimidating manner. Similar to "in-text", linked citations such as this, with a click of the mouse, students are able to access the emphasized, target information directly without having to hassle with the "traditional", MLA citation methods that are, in my opinion, rote and meaningless to the 21st century student. In a more general sense, especially for students with special needs who thrive on visual stimulation, the use of images can be of enormous assistance in helping them understand content and stay engaged during classroom instruction.
