2. Think and Share visually.

Talk time!!

1.ON WHAT SOCIAL NETWORKS DO YOU SHARE Your learning or eduStories?

2. WHY ARE Pictures/Videos SO EFFECTIVE IN COMMUNICATING MEANING?

Look at these pictures for insight : Reflections: Portraits of the Elderly as They Once Were

TALK Time!!

3. DO YOU BLOG? Why or why not? Who Could benefit from YOU SHARING your edu-world?

4. How often do you TAKE PICTURES IN YOUR CLASSROOM or use pictures forInstruction?

5. Are there more negative stories in Education or positive stories? Can we help change that?

Become a Creator of Visual media…Tell your storiesLearn out loudThen guide your kids to do the same!~80% of your brain is set up to process visual informationTHINK in terms of pictures/videos FIRST to tell stories. It’s a shift.

Created by Dr. Ken Corum using the PHONTO App—free!

SHIFT: Think in visuals first.

Pictures naturally guide us toward big IDEAS

Pictures easily

and quickly evoke all 3 domains:

Emotional, B

ehavioral, and Cogniti

ve.Schools = textIt’s a big shift.
