Diagrams can be very helpful while writing in a virtual world. Digarams help in many ways because if you are talking about a certain topic, you can have the picture to break down and help the reader understand what exactly you are talking about. For example, I chose to use a diagram of the muscular system. If I was explaining the different parts of the system, you could visually see which parts I was talking about. Or, if I was talking about the different functions of muscles, you could identify which ones I was talking about. I believe that diagrams are very helpful in an educational setting. Diagrams help students really see what the teacher is talking about. Most people, including me, are visual learners. This means that if we see what you are talking about on paper or in a diagram, we will understand it better. Labels are also a very important part of diagrams. On my diagram, they are labeled. Lines go from the part of the body, to the label. I don't believe there could be a different or better way to use labels for this particular picture. While taking a diagram off of its normal page, you must be careful not to take anything away from it. In most cases, a diagram is created for a specific purpose. So you have to be cautious not to take away the main reason is was created. You have to put it in a place and give it its recognition that it was meant to get in the first place. In the end, diagrams are a great way to help us understand visually a specific topic. They help out in a learning environment and can really help someone understand a big topic. Diagrams are very beneficial to have and create.
