| Who created the slogan "Visual and Active Learning"? I don't know. The idea is simple: Most textbooks don't move. Most textbooks are black and white and two dimensions. The Visual and Active are the third and fourth dimensions, adding depth and time. One of my students told me, "You teach Physical Math" and another told me, "Now I can see it." A third student said, "I understand it now because I can feel it" so it's Visual and Active. What is the central mission of a Visual and Active Teacher? ANSWER: The V-and-A Teacher tries to grab the attention of students and engage them in the lesson. Edu-Tainment, which is Education and Entertainment. The perfect Visual and Active person to observe is Dennis Yuzenas, the Visual and Active Teacher of the Year for 2004 His web site is www.WhatDoYaKnow.com and he creates interesting "books on CD" to engage the attention of students. Write to him at yuzenas@prodigy.com An example of a Visual ESOL teacher is Cary Elcome ... correspond with him at bradstow2@yahoo.co.uk For interesting seminars about how to integrate technology in the classroom and how to infuse Visual and Active techniques into your lesson plans, hire Mr. Mac. HERE'S AN OFFER Most consultants want a commitment or payment up front. I prefer to operate like a store. When you buy an item on a trial basis, you can return the item for a full refund. When I'm retired, I want to look back at the schools and classrooms where I entered. I'd rather be busy and paid only every fourth or fifth day (giving voluntary workshops) than to work only when I'm guaranteed a check. Let me come into your "village" (your school) and share what I have learned from other Visual and Active teachers.
