At our recent Creative Teaching with Interactive Whiteboards workshop, I saw Darren Kuropatwa present a compelling case for Design Matters! (We know design matters for look and feel - but it matters to the brain, too!). The brain is impacted by how we present things visually. In my own presentation about our use of Interactive Whiteboards in the Concord classrooms, I ask participants to partake in an exercise on visual thinking.
Visual learning and visual thinking are distinct in my mind. Visual learning has to do with how the brain processes visual input. Visual thinking has to do with how the brain processes. I want to learn what I can about these topics. Send me your links and book suggestions. Here are some resources - add to my list!:
