A little fun, instead of bullets • what visual thinking is • show examples from multiple disciplines • share ideas as to how you can put it to work in your courses • resources to help get you started on the visual thinking highway
Definitions Visual thinking and learning utilize graphical ways of working with ideas and presenting information. Research in both educational theory and cognitive psychology tells us that visual learning is among the very best methods for teaching students of all ages how to think and how to learn.
Visual learning helps students • Make abstract ideas visible and concrete • Connect prior knowledge and new concepts • Provide structure for thinking, writing, discussing, analyzing, planning and reporting • Focus thoughts and ideas, leading to understanding and interpretation
