"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."

As a visual learner myself, I love onto graphics, beginning with the dAiley ones posted NBC USA Today since its inception.
really? more of these non-classical pedagogical methods?
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.
