Nonlinguistic Representation

Believe it or not...it's almost December!!  This means we are moving on to Nonlinguistic Representations soon!  A very interesting topic to me because I have had so many negative learning experiences with teachers who teach only from a linguistic modality.  It wasn't until college that I learned that I need to take any new knowledge and manipulate it in a nonlinguistic fashion to retain it deeply.  Once I figured that out learning new content was so much easier and more fun!  What are your experiences as a learner or a teacher with nonlinguistic representations??

Oops!

I left comments on another blog rather than posting! Check them out on the blog with the brainstorming map!

Free online webbing software

 Here is my example of one way to summarize or take notes.
This free online software is similar to Kidspiration or Inspiration.
It is called bubbl.us "brainstorm and mind maps online"
It is fun, easy and another way that students can visually take notes.

November = Note Taking

Many of you have linked the topics of summarizing and note taking since they share a chapter in our text and are so naturally connected.  Carry on with your great comments and discussions and we'll move on to Nonlinuistic Representations in December!  Thanks  and Happy Thanksgiving!! :)
