  1. Organize Student Thinking with Inspiration Presented by: Amber Price Visit the Inspiration Station

  2. Use Inspiration To... Stimulate Higher Level Thinking Skills using graphic organizers.

  3. Brain Research supports the use of Graphic Organizers for learning. When the child creates their own colorful, pictorial organizer, they are engaged, they have ownership, & they are involved in a minds-on activity reconstructing knowledge. • Interest & emotion • Patterns • Connecting prior knowledge • Selectivity • Meaningful Organization • Multiple senses • Mental Visualization • Association

  4. Graphic Organizers and Visual Learning Using visuals reduces the time needed to learn a concept and increases retention

  5. “I feel strongly that the visual arts are of vast importance. Of course, I could be prejudiced. I am a visual art.” Our Visual World Kermit the Frog Using Inspiration’s clip art and photos that you add to the libraries enhances learning and retention.

  6. What is Visual Learning? Knowledge gained by interpreting and creating graphical representations The power of visual learning

  7. Visual diagrams reveal pattern interrelationship and interdependencies. Visual Learning Is Powerful When:

  8. Visual Learning Is Powerful When: Students see how ideas are connected and realize how information can be grouped or organized

  9. Visual Learning Is Powerful when: Students visually “recreate” what they learn; it helps them absorb and internalize new information

  10. Diagrams are updated throughout a lesson; prompts students to build upon prior knowledge and internalize new information Visual Learning Is Powerful when:

  11. "Every day thinking, like ordinary walking, is a natural performance we all pick up. But good thinking, like running the l00-yard dash, is a technical performance… Sprinters have to be taught how to run the 100-yard dash; good thinking is the result of good teaching, which includes much practice.” David Perkins, Howard University What is higher order thinking?

  12. Students do not tend to acquire thinking skills and habits of mind simply by studying regular subject matter in traditional ways. Why teach thinking?

  13. Good thinking leads to deeper understanding within and across the disciplines. Why teach thinking?

  14. Intelligence is learnable, hence it is teachable. As teachers, we are obligated to teach thinking. Why teach thinking?

  15. Inspire Higher Order Thinking Use your diagrams to move from: Concrete  Abstract Words  Symbols & Representations Make them verbalize the connections & label the links

  16. Today’s Objective Use Inspiration software and the Virginia Standards of Learning to create instructional materials such as thinking maps and graphic organizers to aid in the teaching and learning of various content areas.
