Reaching with Visual Symbols
Visual symbols requires more preparation and more learning. Visual symbols include drawings, cartoons, strip drawings, diagrams, formulas, charts, graphs, maps, globes and etc. Visual symbols will be made meaningful if we can use them as summaries of our own direct experiences or our own rich indirect experiences. The proper use of visual symbols will contribute to optimum learning. The collection, preparation and use of these various visual symbols depends to a great extend on our own resourcefulness and creativity. They may be used in different ways and in different phases of the lesson depending on our purpose. If we use them skillfully, our classroom may turn into a beehive of busy students.
