"Over the last month I've shown the picture that you see to the left during a number of presentations and workshops. I've used the picture to model using pictures to spark students' minds at the beginning of lessons on search strategies. This is a strategy that I've developed by borrowing ideas from Daniel Russell's Search ReSearch activities and Dan Meyer's strategy of using videos and pictures to prompt students to ask math questions."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne shares how he uses images to help students (and teachers) learn search strategies. He suggests using Creative Common-licensed images from Flickr or Fotopedia as many are tagged with locations. He also shares some of the questions that often come up with this picture. Using images to teach search strategies may help those students whom are more visual learners.
