Explain The Qualities Of A Visual Learner

Decent Essays
To effectively learn new materials I have to picture what I am learning and sit in the front of the class so I’m not distracted. These are the qualities of a visual learner. This means that I am able to learn best by reading or seeing the material that I'm studying, and that I understand and remember information by sight. Individuals who are considered visual learners are usually neat and keep their areas clean. These attributes help me to be organised and catch on quickly in classroom settings where students can witness a teacher working out the material on the board, like in math classes.

    In Jenna Ogier’s classroom, guided reading consists of students learning to work independently and participating in small groups as they rotate through workstations. In the video, Ms. Ogier discusses and exemplifies how she manages a classroom of 31 students as they partake in guided reading. That being said, strategies apparent in the video are consistent with Jack Kounin’s model of discipline. Kounin found that good discipline was more contingent on how effective teachers presented their lesson plans, rather than what they did to correct misbehavior after it occurred. Furthermore, he came up with five behavioral techniques that are imperative to preventing misbehavior and facilitating successful classroom management.…

    The video “Organize Your Thinking to Critically Analyze Text” (Brouhard, 2012) showcases an instructional strategy called “Keep it or Junk it” in which students read a short passage and select key vocabulary words from their reading to identify the main idea. After this is done, the students are eventually asked to write research essays on the content matter. There are multiple stages to the strategy, and the teacher does implement alternative techniques when she sees students who appear not to comprehend the task and cannot properly fulfill the objective. The students in the video are also shown using various terms from academic language in their classroom responses. The terms are all related to the subject or content matter, such as the “focus question” that they are required to answer or the “colonists” and “Powhatan” who were the focus of the readings.…

    My goal is visual storytelling for print and digital that is content-driven, clear and easy to navigate. I accomplish this by collaborating and communicating with photo and word editors.

In addition to my design responsibilities, I help make sure design desk schedules are accurate and posted in a timely manner, fix plotter paper jams, resolve digital issues, manage page flow, convert graphics to our style or correct them, provide detailed explanations of workflow issues, create illustrations and provide help to my colleagues when needed.…

    Why do students remember everything that is on television and forget what is taught in lecture? Students’ skills are best improved through practice, but before practice, observation is a key component to learning. For example, even if the students are given the steps on how to perform the return demonstration, they want to see the actual procedure to be more confident that they can accomplish it on their own. Students can use visual media as a way to retain concepts and ideas.…

    You said that watching the performace helps us to see Hamlet's perconality, and I completely agree. The way Hamlet is acted out in this clip, is completely different than I had pictured in my head. By watching, I can see how the actor and production company thought he should be portrayed. It's always good to see the play through many lenses. I think the visual cues also help us understand some of the lines that may be more complicated, or that we might skim over because they are hard to grasp.…

    Chris, I completely understand your frustration about not knowing or feeling confident in answering this question. I wrote out my answer Tuesday but changed it at the last minute because I thought I was answering the prompt completely wrong. I spent last night racking my brain to rewrite my answer and attempt to make it relevant to the prompt and incorporate what I learned from the reading. I felt like I had answered the question in my essay from last week, and when I wanted to use references, I could not remember from whom I had gotten the information. For example, I could not recall who wrote about how many images we process, and here it is in your post.…

This storage is capable of holding roughly seven items of information for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.” (Foster, 2011) Short-term memory is very restricted and needs to make room for all original knowledge coming in consistently. “Long-term is a more permanent storage, hoarding information over hours, days or years. This information can take the form of declarative memories, which include simple facts or specific episodes in your life, or procedural memories to do with skills, such as how to ride a bike.”…
