There are many effective ways to engage a person's brain to help understand things better. One way is to associate pictures with the things we are trying to describe. This helps to bring meaning to the things that are being taught. Its also effective to make the images interactive to engage the person watching. Videos are a very effective resource in capturing a student's full attention. We learn best when our senses are engaged in what we are learning. The most effective way to learn is to engage not only our visual senses, but also our hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

I think you raised a very valid point about engaging all of our senses in order to most effectively teach/learn. Using the senses establishes connections, and the more senses that are used, the stronger that connection becomes.
