"Found this fantastic infographic touting the success of infographics. Reading it (or more correctly, viewing it) immediately focused my thoughts on the use of visual texts in classrooms today...Unlike other infographics I link to on Mr G Online, I’m not going to discuss the specific points presented – that would be contradictory to the message of the infographic. I’ll let you get your own meaning from it. However, I am going to reflect on how it made me consider the use of visual texts in education." Via Beth Dichter

As a visual learner myself, I love onto graphics, beginning with the dAiley ones posted NBC USA Today since its inception.

You can absorb the visual faster and make sense of it in a holistic way; particularly if you spend time engaging with the information from different physical points of view. The information is embedded in the memory because the individual is encouraged to project their own meaning. Having been directed to view educational materials, the learner can them be asked questions to test their understanding.
Visual learning is necessary from a young age and is what home school sources learning is all about. |
Teaching students to ask questions is not an easy task. This is the first in a series of two posts that will explore ways that teachers may ask questions to help their students "learn more from text and from the world around them." He is using the book Goldilocks and the Three Bears to model a number of strategies to use in the classroom
* Tell - Read the story or have them read the story. Ask questions that refer back to the text
* Suggest - Provide "children with choices about what might happen next or possible opinions they might have."
* Ask a closed question - "These questions generally elicit yes or no answers. They can bring students to different temporal areas or elaborations of details, but the extent of this is structured by the question."
* Ask an open ended question - questions that provide lots of options.
* The two-question rule - follow the first question with a second question allowing students to probe more deeply (and sometimes a third question).
Find examples of questions for each area listed above as well as the reasoning behind why the two-question rule is a good one to use.
