Visualize
I am a visual learner! Atleast I think I am. I am often told how attentive I am and I have a wonderful detailed memory. this is all from me coding things in my head. I dream in bright color, which i never realized is not typical. In my class i plan on using differentiated instruction but i will use some techniques for visual learners that can help all students.
Wordle is a sight that takes a passage or webpage and organizes the words into a picture, displaying the most repeated words with different sizes so the "big Ideas" are larger and more prominent. the photo on the side is my blog. the biggest idea of my blog is Writing followed by students. since this is a Language arts class, and a education blog it makes a lot of sense.

In My Class:
1.Keep my visual aids organized in a logical fashion.
2.Display key points of course material on overheads, chalkboard, and handouts.
3. Font sizes should be large enough to read from the back of classroom. If I use PowerPoint, provide slides on handouts with a photo that is relevent to go along with each slide .
4. Create a web-site and make class notes, or supplementary
materials,available for download.
5. Use pictures along with every spoken point for memory storage. students ca often see
the image for recall and remember everything said.
6. Provide time to make outlines or flashcards as needed.
7. provide graphic organizers and visual aids that students can fill in and customize.
