Double Entry Journal #2

QUOTE: "Posters can get the visual students’ attention (Al-Failkawei, 2005). There are some words (noun or verbs) that will attract the visual learners. The noun words are vision, scene, image, eye, show, color. The verb words are imagine, clear, recognize, watch, and see (Al-Takriti, 1997). Visual learners like to read books that have color pictures (Al-Failkawei, 2005)."

RESPONSE: I agree with this statement about visual learners because I believe that I'm a visual learner myself. The example of posters is a great way to point out a visual learner in that they remember what words correspond with certain colors or what images relate to certain things on the poster. I also agree that nouns and verbs tend to catch the visual learner's attention. For example, if they see the word "vision" they can easily visualize what is trying to be portrayed. The same with the actual verb, "imagine", they will have no trouble at all imaging things and then applyig it to real life. To teach visual learners, I think that the web is a great source because there are many different websites where you can be artistic and still teach your students. Also, hands on games can be used to practice repetition for the visual learner.

VIDEO:  I chose this video because it was just basically a hands on math game to help teach students, specifically visual learners. This can be used in the everyday classroom, not just with math, but reading or science, or even history as well.
