Title: Inspiring the Visual Learners

Inspiring the Visual Learners
  • Presented byRebecca Riberich

Students today
  • In a world of visual stimuli, kids today tend to
    learn more when they can picture the concept.
  • Computers, video games, and graphics are visually
    stimulating to invoke learning.
  • How can teachers use technology to help students
    make connections to concepts and ideas?

3
Inspiration Software
  • Technology via visual learning to help students
    learn!

4
How Can Visual Learning Benefit my Students???
  • Visual learning is a proven method in which
    ideas, concepts, data and other information are
    associated with images and represented
    graphically.
  • Visual learning helps students improve academic
    performance and achieve success across the
    curriculum.

5
How Can Visual Learning Help?
  • Research has proven that visual learning is one
    of the best methods of teaching valuable
    comprehension, thinking and writing skills.
  • By combining the power of visual learning it can
    leverage the strength of multiple learning styles
    to improve students' comprehension and retention.

6
The Power of Learning
  • Learning to think. Learning to learn.
  • These are the essential skills for student
    success in every curriculum area and academic
    pursuit.
  • 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.

7
The Power of Learning
  • With the powerful combination of visual learning
    and technology, students in grades K-12 learn to
    clarify thoughts, organize and analyze
    information, integrate new knowledge and think
    critically.

8
Clarifying Thoughts
  • Students see how ideas are connected and realize
    how information can be grouped and organized.
    With visual learning, new concepts are more
    thoroughly and easily understood when they are
    linked to prior knowledge.

9
Organize, Analyze, and Integrate
  • Students can use diagrams and plots to display
    large amounts of information in ways that are
    easy to understand and help reveal relationships
    and patterns.
  • Linked verbal and visual information helps
    students make connections, understand
    relationships and recall related details.

10
Types of Inspiration
11
  • InspireData builds critical data literacy skills
    and engages students.
  • They actively explore and analyze data using
    dynamic Venn, bar, stack, pie and axis plots to
    interpret information and draw conclusions.

12
  • As students organize and analyze data they ask
    meaningful questions and dig deeper to solve
    problems.
  • They move beyond simply memorizing facts and
    start acquiring the skills of reasoning, inquiry
    and communication.
  • This process builds data literacy and makes
    learning a richer, more meaningful experience.

  • Created for K-5 learners, Kidspiration provides
    an easy way to apply the proven principles of
    visual learning.
  • Students build graphic organizers by combining
    pictures, text and spoken words to represent
    thoughts and information.
  • Younger learners develop early literacy skills,
    and more advanced students improve comprehension
    skills and better organize ideas for writing.

18
  • Tap multiple learning styles
  • The powerful combination of visual
    representations, text-based outlines and
    Kidspiration's speech capabilities encourages
    learning in multiple modes.

19
  • Develop emerging literacy skills
  • Students take advantage of the power of the
    picture to build early reading and writing
    skills. With Symbol Maker, they draw to visually
    express their thoughts. Paired words and symbols
    in Writing View help students make the literacy
    connection.

20
  • Categorize and group ideas
  • Super Grouper shapes - symbols that represent
    main topics or concepts - offer young students a
    visual way to sort, group, classify and compare.
  • Students simply drag words or picture symbols
    into Super Grouper shapes to show relationships.
  • With Kidspiration, students can now create Venn
    diagrams or choose any symbol to represent
    categories - adding more visual meaning to
    grouping activities.

21
  • Express and organize thoughts
  • Using Kidspiration, students advance through the
    writing process, developing well-organized
    stories and reports.
  • In Picture View, they create graphic organizers
    to brainstorm and organize ideas.
  • Work is automatically available in Writing View
    format for drafting.
  • Then with one click, projects can be moved to a
    word processor to be finalized.

22
  • Build comprehension skills
  • In Put Reading First, the National Reading Panel
    cites the use of graphic organizers as a key
    strategy for developing text comprehension.
  • With Kidspiration, students use graphic
    organizers to show and explore relationships as
    well as improve comprehension and retention of
    information.

  • Inspiration is the essential tool students rely
    on to plan, research and complete projects
    successfully. With the integrated Diagram and
    Outline Views, they create graphic organizers and
    expand topics into writing.

27
  • This powerful combination encourages learning in
    multiple modes. As a result, students gain and
    retain a better understanding of concepts and
    demonstrate knowledge, improving their
    performance across the curriculum.

28
  • Educators use Inspiration to customize
    instruction, achieve standards, assess student
    projects and energize learning. An expanded
    selection of 120 cross-curricular templates in
    language arts, social studies, science, planning
    and thinking makes starting assignments quick and
    easy.

29
  • Visualize ideas, concepts and relationships
  • In Diagram View, students create graphic
    organizers a core element of visual learning
    to analyze, compare and evaluate information.
  • They quickly brainstorm new ideas with the
    RapidFire tool, search the symbol collection to
    find images to represent any concept, and insert
    and play multimedia files.
  • To show relationships between ideas, students
    link symbols and add words to further clarify
    meaning.

30
  • Improve writing proficiency
  • As they start the writing process, students use
    visually integrated notes to expand topics and
    switch to Outline View to further develop their
    ideas.
  • The integrated Word Guide helps students choose
    words with more precision, and a contextual spell
    checker automatically identifies misspelled
    words.
  • To finalize projects, students can transfer to
    their favorite word processor or transform their
    work into a web site with the Site Skeleton
    export tool.

31
  • Plan and organize projects
  • Inspiration helps students organize information,
    develop thinking skills and demonstrate
    knowledge.
  • Drag-and-drop actions and hyperlinks make it easy
    to gather research and connect to files and web
    resources.
  • As students develop their projects, they use
    AutoArrange to automatically format their
    diagrams.
