See What I Mean: Visual Thinking Tools for Deep Learning

Sheridan Center for Teaching & Learning

Please join us for the 2017 Sheridan invited speaker Graduate Student Master Class by Dr. Derek Bruff, Director of the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching and a senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics:

Our brains are wired to rapidly make sense of and remember visual input. How might we tap into our students’ ability to think visually when teaching? In this session, we will explore ways that visual thinking tools such as concept maps, coordinate axes, timelines, and sketchnotes can help students refine, share, and receive feedback on their understanding of relationships among ideas. These tools can thus help students build more robust mental models useful for solving problems, thinking critically, and learning deeply. This class is open to graduate students only.
