Expressing Ideas through Language

Some learners have a difficult time putting their thoughts into words. They can often express their ideas more effectively in a multisensory way. Learners can use assistive technology to help them organize their ideas and present them to others. Many of the common problems with learners are: organizing ideas, thinking visually, , brainstorming, and vocabulary knowledge.

Graphic organizer software can help more visual learners to visually organize and plot information. It will also assist with:

• Outlining and brainstorming to organize written work
• Using visual learning techniques - graphical ways of working with ideas and presenting information
• Teaching learners to clarify their thinking
• Helping learners process, organize and prioritize new information
• Helping visual learners use visual diagrams to reveal patterns, interrelationships and interdependencies
