Ian Jukes like so many others in his field often points out that the kids in our classrooms are not at all like the teachers who teach them. They are wired differently and have grown up in a world flatter and more connected than at any other time in history. What does this mean for teaching and learning? It means that these students they need to taught differently.

Alice in Infoland put me on to this little MEDagogy gem this week, one that I know I will be trying to spread around as much as possible. The “Periodic Table of Visualization Methods”   from www.visual-literacy.org is a fantastic interactive diagram that depicts different ways to graphically demonstrate information and concepts. A creative tool that succinctly shows just how many strategies there are for teacher to use to access their visual learners. I love that I just learned TWENTY !! new ones.
Very cool!
