I recently put together a workshop on using visual thinking techniques in the classroom for a group of graduate students at my teaching center. Here’s a brief outline of the talk:

  • Presenting Visually
    • Complement, don’t clutter.
    • Use metaphors.
    • Show relationships and patterns.
  • Interacting Visually
    • Ask students to select images.
    • Ask students to create images.
    • Capture discussions graphically.

See the Prezi I created for the session, embedded below, for examples and links.
