2. Where have you seen graphs used? Graphs are used everywhere. You can find them in textbooks, newspapers, meetings, schoolroom, everywhere. Basically anywhere someone needs to portray information, visualize data, display trends or patterns, compare two or more things, chart progression/digression, show relationships, etc.…
I have always been a visual learner, although I did not realize the technical term for my condition as a child, once I became an educator and became aware of the various ways to classify learners based on their abilities and learning style, I quickly discovered who I was and was able to classify myself accordingly. Visual learners are more inclined to gain knowledge through physical interaction and hands on experience with tools they can see, rather than through verbal instructions or explanations. However, it has been my experience that all types of learners find visual aids helpful, even f they are just used as supplemental information to enhance the knowledge they gained through verbal communication. Visual aids, such as process flow charts, are…
For this discussion, identify at least one specific message that you might communicate in the workplace – one that could benefit from the use of visuals. (Note: This can be in either a past, current, or potential future workplace.) For instance, maybe the message involves typing up job-aids and sending them out to your colleagues. Or perhaps it involves delivering a presentation to your boss on your department’s achievements for the previous quarter. Or, maybe it’s related to designing an advertisement for your own business.…
Visual learners retain information best when they are able to use flow sheets, maps, diagrams or models when learning new information. This type of learner needs to observe the material in an attractive manner. The visual learner will do best if studying using pictures, logos, designs, colors, or flow charts. Seeing the picture as a whole makes it easier for the visual learner to make sense of and retain the information presented to them.…
On the whole, we are inclined to do most of our thinking as semantic thought which is thinking in words, as well as iconic thought which is thinking in pictures. However, a lot of research in this area has shown that we can further enhance our memory of verbal or written information if we also form a mental image of the information. Mental image involves creating an image of something…
The second techniques used are visual imagery mnemonics using visual images. The most popular method is the ‘method of loci’ whereby the learner associates parts of the material trying to be remembered to be recalled with different places ( normally important buildings/ locations for example a family home) in order those memories are released whilst being associated with something else. Another method found by (Atkinson and Raugh 1975) was the key-word method whereby conjuring up an image for the recall of a word ( mainly used in the memorisation of foreign language phrases) e.g- caballo ( horse in Spanish) could have an visual image of an one-eyed horse driving in a cab. The final method is mind mapping ( Buzan et al 1993) involved making notes of information in a branching pattern with the main topic in the centre, and component elements surrounding outwards. Sketches, colours are used to give each page a distinctive visual appearance in comparison to usual linear notes and help memory.…

Eric Kim’s Chicago, 2013 is a collection of psychological feelings that have been captured in one instance of time. Initially giving the image of a busy working man, the subject featured in this picture is a model of the average working man. Taking a look at the surroundings, the businessman’s true mentality begins to peak. This man is exhausted, stressed, and lonely. Despite all of these characteristics, this picture still gives encouragement and inspiration in an unusual way, which is what the author, Kim, intended. This picture is more than a reflection through a window, but a reflection of this man’s life which revolves around his tiring job. The picture shows that even through exhaustion and loneliness, hope can always be found if searched…

Another feature of the unit is the use of visuals. Conceptualising the past is difficult for Stage 2 students; visuals enable them to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the past. Visuals are also a mechanism for promoting classroom discussion which is both descriptive and critical.…
Man has been using signs and symbols mutually understood between at least two persons, and more usually among people belonging to a group, tribe or trade. These signs, symbols, signals and indicators have generally been of two types - visual and audio signals. That is why we have a Chinese proverb, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Paintings, murals and engravings found on the walls of ancient caves, temples and other buildings have a lot of communicative value.…
