Here's a great tech tool tip from Rachel Maleski:
I'm a visual learner, which usually drives my husband nuts whenever we're trying to assemble a new item. Imagine how well that went when we had 80 million pieces of baby gear to put together a few years back. I wanted to sit and read the directions and look at the visuals, whereas my kinesthetic better half wanted to dive head-first into assembly.Neil Flemings VAK (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) model suggests that certain people learn better through certain modes. And while, in my humble opinion, everyone learns in a combination of varied modes, sometimes certain concepts are best taught in conjunction with visual aids.ThingLink is a great web-based tool that allows users to take any image and then tag it with information, including the ability to link to other websites. The terms of use say that anyone of any age can use ThingLink, but that children under 13 should be supervised during use. It does require a sign up using an email address, but there is no confirmation email so students can sign up for free accounts.
