Vizualizing with Technologies

                There are different types of people who learn in different types of ways. Some can learn by reading. Some people can learn by hearing information. Some people can also learn by seeing information. This last group of learners is called visualizers. Today I will talk about visualizing with technology, which is especially beneficial to visualizers. Visualization tools are interactive software programs that allow students to see and change information. These programs include Paint programs, sketchcast, Spartan, and many others. I believe that these programs are very beneficial to not only visual learners but all learners. It gives students the opportunity to see information presented in a different manner and can open them up to new ways of learning.

                Visualization tools can cover a broad spectrum of lessons and topics. Due to that broad spectrum, visualization tools have the chance to have an impact in the classroom from head start all the way through college graduate courses. These tools can be used anywhere from letting elementary school students use a paint pad to write the alphabet to a college student using digital storytelling to complete a presentation and everywhere in between. Visualization tools can impact the learning process positively. It allows students to actually see the topic that they are learning and it allows for them to make more connections to the subject and have a better chance at remembering it.
