• The usage of graphic is good especially as the picture of the frog is relevant to the topic
• The use of sound animation to accompany the graphic helps to stimulate the student’s interest. It also takes up less disk space as compared to a video clip to showcase the subject matter – The Frog
• The interesting and bright choice of colors used, attractive icons and underline of wordings is attention grabbing.
• The choice of colour that used for the background – light badge serves as a nice contrast to the wordings in the foreground- black/dark brown

Ω The usage of colourful graphics and animation is essential in classroom teaching as is aptly being mentioned, “since so much learning is done involving the senses of sight and hearing, the teacher should capitalize on this fact and use it to the fullest advantage in helping students learn more effectively.” (Wong, A. F. L., and Cheung, W. S., 1999)   

• There is at least the use of 3 fonts here, might want to consider reducing to only 2 fonts.
• There is an imbalance in the orientation of the graphic and words as a whole. The pictures are mainly concentrated on the right side.  May want to consider placing the pictures at the bottom, words on top?

• The heading is in full capital letter
• The 2 pictures are appropriately used as students may not have seen actual different species of frogs in real life.
• The word “Amphibian” is bold for further emphasis.

• There is inconsistency in the wordings and phasing for frogs.
• The paragraphing is wrong, all the points should be aligned neatly.

• The appropriate use of graphics is good for this case as it is something extract that students will find easier to grasp on a single diagram
• The frog cycle is similar to the one in the textbook curriculum so students will have lesser problems with identification.

• There is inconsistency in the labeling of the frog stages ; some are missing, colors are different etc.
• The sub-heading is also in full capital words, whereas the heading is now not in full capital, unlike the previous slide – inconsistency.

• There are sufficient pictures used in this slide to try to best describe the wordings in the paragraph.

• Unfortunately, the pictures are all over the place. The pictures should be arranged accordingly next to the applicable paragraph
• The pictures are also too close to the bottom of the slide
• The labeling can be more consistent, only the eggs are labeled. Even so, the words, “eggs” may be too big in comparison to the other wordings.
• There is once again, the mis-alignment of paragraphs.
• The Header is missing – inconsistent.

• The appropriate use of pictures to accompany the illustration of each stage , each picture actually increases gradually in size which facilitates learning, as there is some form of pattern formed here.

• Header is missing
• The icons for navigation are found strangely at a different place
• The font size may be bit small for the entire class to view. There may be a need to move the third paragraph to the next slide.

• The paragraphing space between sentences is rather close and does not appear distant, as such, the words should be pleasing to the student’s eyes.

• The header is missing
• The pictures are all over the place. They should be arranged nicely in a pattern next to the appropriate paragraph.
• The size of each picture should be about the same.
