2. Recommendations 1. Use graphic organizers 2. Students create physical models 3. Students generate mental images 4. Use pictures or pictographs 5. Students use kinesthetic activities

3. Word Processing Applications Allows students to include visual elements in their written text  dog

4. Spreadsheet Software Create graphs and charts from data

5. Organizing and Brainstorming Software Graphic representations serve as devices that help students classify, organize, store, and recollect information  ex. Inspiration, Microsoft Visio, Cmap Tools, SmartTools, and Word Drawing toolbar 6 Types of Pattern Organizers  Concept/Descriptive (vocab), Generalization/ Principle (math/science), Time-sequence (historical progressions), Episode (complex events), Process/Cause-effect (decision making)

6. Data Collection Tools Students acquire information and images Digital Probes/Microscopes, Video, Photography, and Sound  Digital Probe Companies: Vernier, Pasco, HOBO, Fourier Allows for more time to analyze and evaluate  Digital Microscopes: ProScope, Konus, Ken-A-Vision, Scalar, Prime Entertainment Ability to export and create images and time-lapse movies

7. Multimedia Applications Students create multimedia projects Presentations  ex. Inspiration, PowerPoint, iMovie, Movie Maker, etc.  Tips: Students research first, grading rubric, students present Animations Movies and Videos  Can be used for instruction and as instruction  Tips: In addition to requirements, a)write script b)storyboard c)shoot the video d) import video/images e)edit f)add music g)save and share Resource: freeplaymusic.com (free music for educational purposes)
