Visual Tools: Definition
Visual Tools: Definition



Visual tools are nonlinguistic symbol systems used by
               learners, teachers, and leaders,
for graphically linking mental and emotional associations to
     create and communicate rich patterns of thinking.
VISUAL TOOLS
VISUAL TOOLS
Visual tools, in the best cases, are generated from a blank page
 by students for transforming text based content information
   into ACTIVE KNOWLEDGE using a rich integration of
       visual, spatial, verbal, and numerical modalities.
     The goal is to create conceptually rich models full of
                     meaningful connections.

Mapping present01
The act of mapping was as profound as the invention of a
                    number system.

     The combination or the reduction of reality and the
   construction of an analogical space is an attainment in
 abstract thinking of a very high order indeed, for it enables
one to discover structures that would remain unknown if not
                           mapped.

amongst a group of students in an art
class, at LMU, in 2010. Collaborate
