5. How many Learning Styles do you know? There are seven kinds of learning styles and each of them have different techniques. For example, visual provides spatial understanding.
6. We’re Different Among those learning styles, everyone in our group is different. You can try to create your own on the website:Learning-styles-online.com
7. Visual Learning Why do we need Visual Learning? Because… 1)Widely Used 2) Universal 3) Effective 4) Communicate Quickly 5) Simple Techniques
8. Dual-Coding Theory Allan Paivio proposes that we process verbal and visual information differently.

10. A Brief History of Visual Learning From an era approximately 40,000 years ago, man began using images that they painted on cave or rock walls and ceilings to tell their stories.
13. The first computer in the world. History shows that the development of visual communications has been the underlying fire and drive to visual learning. From mans’ early cave drawings to the latest in graphic design, we have seen visual learning evolve from its simplest form to the technological marvel it is today.

18. A Mind Map uses words, pictures, signs, numbers, colors, and other attributes to organize thoughts.
19. 1. In 1960s, Collins and Quilliandeveloped the theory of Mind Maps. Collins can be considered the father of modern mind map. 2. In 1970s, Tony Buzan invented modern mind mapping.
20. Left and Right Brain Mind maps help you use your right brain.
21. Different Formats ★ There are different formats such as flow chart, concept map, tree chart, fish bone chart, and others. ★ They all have different purposes.
26. U5, Lesson 1 – The Shape of Things (TATS - p. 326) a) List 3D space-shapes you see in Biosphere 2. b) Give at least two examples of the 2D plane-shapes used to make up a space-shape. c) Pick a space-shape in this room & sketch it. What parts would you need to measure to describe its size? Resource from: http:// http://www.b2science.org/
Differentiating learning styles helps educators and learners adapt to differences and shape content to fit individual needs. It also helps learners increase their preferences and make themselves proficient at utilizing multiple learning styles. Note to presenter: read or ask volunteer to read slide.Those who teach us won’t always teach us in a way that we can grasp – because we’re all different. We can gain an edge on our ability to learn by adapting to different learning styles. For example, this assignment “stretches” us to use Visual learning techniques through this presentation, Auditory techniques through speaking our thoughts and notes, Kinesthetic techniques by performing this presentation, Verbal techniques through reading, writing, and speaking,Some of us may have used logical techniques as we researched and composed our presentations and papers, We even had the opportunity to work in groups and on our own.As you can see, learning styles go hand in hand with one another and overlap quite a bit.
In fact, a number of us took a learning styles inventory. As you can see from these images, none of the charts match one another. We’re all different, and each learning style plays a role in how we learn.
As you’ve seen, the focus of our topic is Visual Learning, but why? What sets visual learning a part from the other styles? To us, visual learning is the most used, the most universal, and in some cases, the most effective. We use visual learning techniques when we want to communicate something quickly. We want our audience to glance at a map or chart and instantly relate that to their context. We can use simple techniques such as formatting, spatial relationships, and the size and location of text to show relationships that we comprehend at a near innate level.
As mentioned earlier, a healthy balance of learning techniques helps us gain knowledge more efficiently and effectively. In fact, Allan Paivio developed a theory called the dual-coding theory. He proposed that our minds process verbal information and visual information differently. Therefore, if we use both learning techniques, our minds process the same information two different ways; we have twice the chance of transferring the knowledge into our long term memories. Ultimately, visual learning techniques relate information effectively and quickly, and can enhance other techniques you may currently use.
