In spring semester, I took a course about teaching strategies and techniques. In this course, I learned some strategies for teaching visual learners.
What's recommended the first is Venn Diagram. This strategy can be used when students need to make a comparison among two or three different objects or abstract concepts. This kind of graphic organizer can help students deconstruct their ideas and summarize knowledge directly.
The second strategy I would like to use is K-W-L chart. This strategy provides students with clear charts which can show their misunderstandings and progress in process of learning.
As the survey which Jenny did in class this class shows, I believe that most of the students are visual learners. These teaching strategies can be combined with Inspiration or other online tools to create useful organizational charts. When students can make good use of them, they will get improved in thinking.
