Most of the world's didactic information is now being accessed in digital format. So dramatic has been the advancement of communication technology and the evolution of didactics that information overload is introducing insidious barriers to creativity and even compromising children’s capacity to think in a logical, well-reasoned fashion.
The student’s learning environment is being bombarded by a digital format that has the potential to totally captivate their visual and aural attention. Videos, the music they listen to, text messaging, computer games—all play a part in molding the cognitive matrix. When children can "Google" basic knowledge and cut and paste answers without the need to understand, how can *understanding* be an anticipated learning outcome?
Failure is Not an Option
The digital age is in need of a broad-ranging instructional strategy that fosters critical, creative and higher-order thinking in preparation for the multidimensional challenges of the working world. A strategy that fights fire with fire; a strategy that supports the transition into the digital age—true DigitalVisual© Learning.
DigitalVisual Learning: What is it?
DigitalVisual Learning is a revolutionary approach to pedagogy that synergistically integrates language, graphics, imaging and sound to better effect understanding of raw data, the formulation of novel ideas and creating a dynamic process of concept creation—a process that has been proven to enhance and clarify thinking, effectively process, organize and analyze data, and generally bring about better and faster comprehension of new information.
DigitalVisual Learning: How does it work?
DigitalVisual Learning provides teachers with a highly efficient, multidimensional means to instructional effectiveness. DigitalVisual Learning allows students to access and process data, and create relevant information with unmatched efficiency, specificity and speed; in fact, to unbind information trapped in text and phraseology that has been accessible only to those who find traditional text formats simple to decipher.
Ironically, DigitalVisual Learning utilizes the same electronic formats that are crushing children’s creative abilities as they enjoy the digital age, but with a focus to pursuing higher-order thinking.
