Visual Learning

In the previous two posts, visual learning tools were used to communicate in different ways. I think that these are wonderful tools to incorporate in the classroom because they stray from the norm.

The speaking avatar creates this new dimension in learning and would be seemingly appropriate to grab the attention of children. Given a specific topic and grade level, the avatar can be altered to present information in an applicable setting and form. In my classroom, I would use the avatar to add a little life to a simple speech. An example is to use a snippet of history retold by Abraham Lincoln but personalize it to hold their attention.

I liked the visual learning poster because I can see endless possibilities of its use. With the capability to easily add images, voice, video, text and effects, this tool is unlike any I’ve encountered thus far. In an education environment, not only would I use it to present information, but I would really love to have students present projects through this. When given the same platform and tools, students’ creative and unique minds create distinguishing and innovative results. As a technology buff, there’s nothing more I would look forward to seeing than a new outcome every time.
