VISUAL STRATEGIES

VISUAL STRATEGIES AND COLLEGE

Some professors get it!

Visuals in classrooms such as pictures, and notes on a white board are becoming more and more

common in schools across the globe!

Visual learners are becoming widely accepted and understood, and most teaching methods have

adapted to include visuals.

KINESTHETIC LEARNING AND COLLEGE

IT FEELS IMPOSSIBLE!!! I feel like the weird kid in class!

Do you think the professor can tell I’m not paying attention?

WHAT DO I DO?!?!

KINESTHETIC LEARNING IS POSSIBLE!

MY EXPERIENCE…..

Kinesthetic learning styles are harder to accommodate in a school setting,

however kinesthetic STUDY techniques make it easier to focus!

Visual Strategies are easier for professors and teachers to use in a classroom and many people can use these to their benefit, not just the people who are more inclined to

learning visually!

How I know I’m a kinesthetic learner…. I click my pen, A LOTI always fidget!

I’m always tapping my feet in class Lecture? What lecture???

I can’t stand the people who have to comment on everything

I love Theatre! I don’t open a textbook unless I have to

Professor calls on me, I have no idea what they were talking about….

How I know I’m a visual learner…. I like pictures more than words“Can you show me instead?” I know where I’m at based off of my surroundings

PowerPoints suck without visualsI can tell a lot about a person Just by looking at them

I’m going to draw things out vs writing down paragraphs

Textbooks aren’t even worth a penny if they don’t have pictures.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!

Everyone has a different learning style, and that’s OK!

Understanding your learning style will make classes and studying MUCH easier!

Never give up! Communicate with your teachers and professors and your fellow

classmates to find a perfect way to pass your classes.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
