WHY VISUAL THINKING

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH INSPIRATION BRAINSTORM IDEAS STRUCTURING THOUGHTS VISUALLY COMMUNICATING CONCEPTS TAKE NOTES ORGANIZE EFFICIENTLY TRANSFORM ANY/ALL OF THE ABOVE INTO POLISHED PRESENTATIONS

IN OTHER WORDS, UNLEASH…

FOUR ENVIRONMENTS 1. DIAGRAM VIEW 2. MAP VIEW 3. OUTLINE VIEW 4. PRESENTATION MANAGER

COME ON, GET ORGANIZED!! BUT “HOW” IS THE QUESTION??????

TYPES OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS CONCEPT MAP IDEA MAP MIND MAP WEB STORYBOARD

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS IB IAS TOK CAS CAREER PLANNING FIELD TRIPS AND PROJECTS COMPARING LITERARY NOVELS CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS DEVELOPING UNDERSTANDING AROUND COMPLEX CONCEPTS

CONCEPT MAPS HIERARCHIAL DIAGRAM BEGINS WITH THE MOST GENERAL AND WORKS DOWN TO THE MORE SPECIFIC CONNECTS KEY CONCEPTS WITH LINKS AND DESCRIPTIVE WORDS EXPLAINS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CONCEPTS EG: TO ILLUSTRATE SCIENTIFIC OR HISTORICAL CONCEPTS

IDEA MAP BRAINSTORMING IDEAS PLANNING PROBLEM SOLVING CREATIVE WRITING LET IDEAS FLOW FREELY, MAP THEM AND THEN STEP BACK AND IDENTIFY COMMON THEMES/PATTERNS EMERGING THEREIN

MIND MAP SIMILAR TO IDEA MAPS, BUT MORE HIERARCHIAL IN THE SENSE THAT A CENTRAL IDEA IS DEVELOPED INTO RELATED AND SUPPORTING IDEAS EXCELLENT TOOL FOR RECALLING AND RECAPTULATION

WEB VISUAL MAP MORE USEFUL FOR ANALYSING A STORY OR PLAN SUPPORTED WITH VISUAL IMAGES FOR CLARITY AND DESCRIPTION

STORYBOARD PLANNING GROUP PRESENTATIONS EXPLAINING STRUCTURE OF THOUGHTS AROUND PRESENTATIONS A GOOD AREA OF APPLICATION WOULD BE TO CREATE A STORYBOARD BEFORE BEGINNING INDIVIDUAL INVESTIGATION PROJECTS
