Use visuals as teaching tools

14.1Use visuals as teaching tools

Use diagrams, tables, timelines, and interface examples to reveal relationships, not decorate a lecture.

Before showing a visual:

  • identify the one idea learners should notice
  • ask learners to predict the relationship or sequence
  • confirm that labels match the current Student Guide and local language
  • explain symbols and reading order
  • check that the visual works in grayscale and at phone or print size; and
  • prepare a spoken or text equivalent.

After showing it:

  • ask a learner to explain the relationship
  • name what the visual simplifies
  • correct any misleading inference; and
  • connect it to the activity or next section.

Educator-useful visual areas include:

  • functions versus properties of money
  • barter and double coincidence
  • local fiat roles and bank balance sheets
  • liquidity versus solvency
  • inflation and purchasing power
  • Bitcoin roles and proof of work
  • supply, halvings, and sats
  • fiat issue / Bitcoin response / responsibility
  • wallet, key, address, and seed relationships
  • safe recovery and transaction checks
  • confirmations, explorer privacy, and address reuse
  • scam red flags
  • on-chain and Lightning comparison
  • Presentation → Practice → Production
  • local payment paths, merchant flows, and circular economies; and
  • final safety and next steps.

Never display a real learner seed phrase, private key, payable address, invoice, balance, identity, or transaction. Mark fictional payment data SAMPLE — DO NOT PAY.

Do not turn a qualified text claim into an absolute visual. A supply chart must not imply price growth. A decentralization map must not imply equal influence. A wallet image must not imply bitcoin is stored inside the device.
