Visual Aids, a way to Go!

) Visual Aids, a way to Go!

 

The second section of the class was another eye-opening moment for me to learn that all learners become visual learners first before any other form of learning and of course, I did have a few questions in mind. Can we then conclude that people with disabilities especially those who have are visual disabilities are visual learners? If so, then how can we make a lesson visually integrated for a person with visual impairments? Concerned about how to be inclusive in my instruction. I learned that the use of visual literacy is relevant for remembering a concept and research showed in class today that 65% of an idea is recognized when an image added to a piece of information.  Having such information is very relevant to an upcoming teacher because it helps one to plan on how to be effective in teaching this modern generation. Knowing that students of this era are accustomed to the use of social media, it will then be necessary to use social media as an essential tool in the classroom that introduces students to visual aids that support the learning concept. 

Another strategy proposed in class is on how to apply visual literacy in a school which is to post a picture for students to ponder upon and to writes about their thoughts.  (this could be a made-up story). Through this, the teacher can ask students critical thinking questions where they answer showing their creativity and at the same time making their misconceptions known. This enables the teacher to get information on how students are thinking and if necessary, addresses their conceptions.
