Visual learner by Briana Welch: Picassohead

I learned that i am a visual learner, and I would definately agree with this statement. The website said that learning wise, I would learn best form:
-books with diagrams and pictures
-underlining things in different colors
-using graphs and symbols.
It then said to use all of these techniques as well :
- Try reconstructing the images in different ways and different spatial arrangements.
- Redraw pages from memory
-Convert notes into a package by reducing them 3:1
Lastly, it gave tips on how to be successfull during an exam:
-recall pictures
-practice turning visuals back into words.

Three examples of how technology could help would be:
-creating graphs to remember percentages of amounts for a certain class online with a graphing website.
