Images can be a great positive on your teaching in a classroom, as students can get a better understanding of your topic in their minds when you are describing or teaching the topic and subject to them. The image can show different points of view and understanding of whats being described. The image can be used as a tool to suit the needs of the learning style of visual, as the students are able to view the image and understand the meaning of what your describing as they are visualising the image.
The image I have selected is of 16 time grand slam champion roger federer in the serving motion. Things this image tells us about the phases of serving: Ball toss arm is straight after the release of the ball, racquet is back in the throw phase(power position)-action of launching up and connecting to the ball-like throwing a ball-arm is back ready to release) Eyes firmly fixed on the balls location, knees sighley bent ready to spring up the upper body to connect into the ball.
Yes i would consider other images for learning purposes, as other sporting images captured in the right motions are a great teaching tool for explaining movements of the body in the way we want our students to copy and perfect the skill. As they can visualise the intended outcome of that skill and have something to aim for.
Podcasts
How I would use a podcast would be through a different point of view of the subject we are presently discussing, as it provides a outside prospective on the topic from an expert in there field profession or a news article on the subject. It is also another way of engaging the students through a different way of learning and virtually suits the auditory learning style if the podcast is only sound.
