Visual Learning

Some people are visual learners, some are audio learners. I was always one of those people who better understood a lesson that was being lectured. Over the years I have found my self learning and understanding a lesson better with hands on material. In a classroom I think that visual learning would be better for most of the kids because you not only need the lecture part to get instilled into their minds but you also need to create some type of visual canvas for them to get a visual of the knowledge they are attaining. You know the "bigger picture"! One of the most popular visual learning aids today is YouTube. YouTube plays a huge role in my college career, from helping me with homework to using a sample of a video included in my projects. Bottom line visual learning tools can be great but it can also be a bad thing because of the fact that we as educators and even regular people do not have control of what gets uploaded.
