Educators agree that visual learning is one of the best methods for teaching thinking skills. Using visual learning techniques — associating ideas, concepts, data and other information with images and graphical representations — students are better able to focus on meaning, reorganize and group similar ideas, identify misconceptions, analyze information and make use of their visual memory.
