"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).

What is "the value of illustrative lessons and design-based investigations...using one's visual imagination to approach educational problems (whether historical, literary, mathamatical, or scientific) can yield tremendous dividents in student collaboration and engagement." This post explores visual thinking with an excellent video by Sean Kelly called "Visual Thinking: Writing with Pictures" (which is worth the 3 minutes it will take to watch it). As always there are great resources, in this case looking at mind mapping. And to show both sides of this story you will also find a link to an article 'Data Visualization: It's Pretty, But Is It Useful?' A great post to gather ideas about visual thinking!
