Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences). The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency...

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Via Baiba Svenca, Stefano D'ambrosio

Great article explaining how the brain interprets text in two different formats (on screen vs. on paper). I knew there had to be a reason why reading from a book has advantages over a screen and this article offers great explanations. In my own classroom research, those who read the paper copy of books do far better on assessments than those who read the digitial copies. Also, students score better on paper tests/quizzes than on online assessments. Knowing how long the quiz or test is and being able to look back or look forward on assignments and in books really is important. Delete the scoop?
