Teaching Methods & Learning Styles
The students now moving through our educational system are by far the most visually stimulated generation our schools have ever had to teach. Having grown up with cable television, video games, computer software, and the Internet, they are truly visual learners coming of age in an increasingly visual world.
Today's students respond best to active learning strategies combined with visual stimulation. Discover how to use photographs and fine arts in your curriculum with this unique resource that includes hundreds of subject-specific visual learning activities for the classroom!
"Hold on to this author—he is magical! I feel so lucky to have this book on my shelf! I learned more from reading Gangwer's book than I have in eight years of professional development workshops."
"A valuable and well-ordered amalgamation of research on the use of images to support learning through visual literacy in all subjects and age levels. Gangwer has effectively organized information from many sources into a form that is readable and practical for a wide variety of education practitioners, including classroom teachers and fine arts teachers."
"The book provides a much-needed guide for teachers to incorporate visual teaching and learning strategies into their classrooms."
