"The misconceptions about visual thinking are alarming. On one hand, this critical skill seems integral for contemporary learning, since almost every modern input is visual in nature. Yet this key proficiency seems almost entirely absent from state standards and daily classroom lessons."
Beth Dichter's insight:
What is visual thinking? How can we teach visual thinking to our learners? ASIDE has an excellent post that provides five presentations that explore visual thinking from different perspectives. All of them share information on the "the power of visuals to craft a layered approach toward teaching with creative design." The five presentations (all from slideshare) are: * Visual Thinking Presentation * Visual Thinking and the Writing Process * Visual Thinking for Brainstorming, Planning, Learning, Collaborating, Harvesting * An Introduction to Visual Thinking * Visual Thinking Help us to... Each of these presentations provides a different viewpoint. Many of our learners are visual learners today. This post will provide you with great resources to help them hone the skill of visual thinking (and will also help you).

"We continually look for resources to use for “mini” lessons or “do nows” to help learners interpret data and draw conclusions through visual analysis.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Finding great graphs to use with students is sometimes difficult. The Wall Street Journal may be the place to turn. This post shares examples of 3 graphs published in their Statshat column. This appears to be a new feature since the first publication is dated May 9, 2014. These graphs will be useful for elementary and middle school. If you teach high school you may want to check out "the Numbers blog (which) examines the way numbers are used and abused,” and the topics are equally as diverse as those on Statshot."

Here are some great graphical resources found in the WSJ! Obviously some are quite Americanised but there are some great ones you could use for a discussion on statistics, skewed data or how data is used in the media to reinforce a bias. |
Sketch notaking is just one way!
