Visual Thinking and Learning Inspiration will help students visualize, think, plan, organize, research, comprehend, and 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

Clarify 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.

Organize and analyze information
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.

Integrate new knowledge
According to research, students better remember information when it's represented and learned both visually and verbally.

Think critically
Linked verbal and visual information helps students make connections, understand relationships and recall related details.
