The “Eyes” Have It!
Using Visual Aids in the Classroom

Why Visual Aids?• Marzano:
– According to research, knowledge is stored in two forms: linguistic and visual. The more students use both forms in the classroom, the more opportunity they have to achieve. Recently, use of nonlinguistic representation has proven to not only stimulate but also increase brain activity.
– Applications: * Incorporate words and images using symbols to represent relationships.* Use physical models and physical movement to represent information.
