  1. Technology as a Tool for Visual Learners who Need Extra Help Becca Arnold Website http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/beccasclass

  2. Introduction • 40% of all students are visual learners • Visual learners learn by seeing or writing pictures or words. • Visual learners use images and color to increase their retention of material. • Many teachers' and instructors' teaching styles do not include many visual aids, but rather are often strict, traditional lecture.

  3. Summary Of What I found • Websites offer lessons great for the visual learner • Lessons explained • Graphics and pictures present • Practice to evaluate understanding • Teachers can use internet as a resource • Parent and child interaction

  4. Summary of What I found • Children gain a better understanding of information • Children feel motivated to learn • Children can feel confident in their abilities • Children can take ownership for their work • Children can engage themselves in different kinds of learning

  5. Detail Findings • Math is a subject that requires lots of repetition and practice. • Math Stories • Provides step-by-step explanation of concepts • Ex. Use of patterns and how to arrive at an answer • Practice problems available • http://www.mathstories.com/strategies_find_pattern.htm.

  6. You can find a pattern. 3) SOLVE:Look at the numbers in the pattern.3 = 1 + 2 (starting number is 1, add 2 to make 3)

  7. Detail Findings • Grammar lessons have the ability to be a bit dull and boring (although important) • Wacky Web Tales • Offers explanation on parts of speech • Provides practice by offering mad libs • Pick topics that interest the child • Easy steps to print • E-mail with friends • http://www.eduplace.com/tales/

  16. Follow Up Action Plan • Search engine dedicated to these types of sites • Library of working sites • Divided by subject, level, and age • Create an account to keep record of children’s work and progress

  17. Follow Up Action Plan • States and schools allocate money for technology • Time is made for students to learn necessary tools in order to access sites • Teachers offer alternatives to lectures • Teachers assign sites for homework • Teachers, tutors, and parents have a common reference
