Teaching aids can be very roughly divided into working and in visual aids:

• Blackboards or cards are mainly to be found in the frontal or group lessons - and serve the visual / graphical support of what has been said by the teacher or on the blackboard in keywords writing.
• Illustrative models illustrate more complex three-dimensional or functional / technical contexts.
• Educational films or slide shows can clarify or fill in abstract matters by images of actual situations.
