Why?
How can graphical
organizers be used
in learning?
Use them as a way to encourage students to
think about information in new ways.
Review concepts and demonstrate their
understanding



A huge amount of information can be shared
on a single picture to provide the "big view"
of a topic.
It's easy to edit, revise, and quickly add to a
visual map.
Graphic organizers can be used as a nice
planning tool from information identification
to product development.
They are great for visual thinkers or those
that need to practice their visual thinking
Without teacher instruction on
how to use them, graphic
organizers may not be
effective learning tools
