Graphic Organizers

NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY… GOODBYE! This is sadly the last post that I will be putting up on the Group Name Bloggers. We had a great run guys but it is finally coming to an end. However I will not be leaving you empty handed because I have one more learning strategy. This strategy was the one that I found to me the most helpful for me and the strategy is Graphic Organizers. And I used them in my AST 101 class and in my ANT class.

Its finals time for me at CUSE so I have been using this strategy to help me understand concepts from earlier this semester that I had the most trouble with. For me, Graphic Organizers… well… “organize” the information for me in a way where I can see several topics at once and I can see how they are related. Plus they appeal to my learning style very well because I am a visual learner. They are also quite easy to make because Microsoft Word has an application called SmartArt Graphics. All you have to do is click on the tab labeled SmartArt and pick a graphic organizer that works best with whatever topic you are focusing on. When I draw out Graphic Organizers on paper they tend to be really sloppy with information jumbled around, but with SmartArt, everything is neatly typed and easy to read. I highly recommend using Smart Art.

Graphic organizers are great for studying and clarifying difficult concepts! LAME I am a visual learner and because of that I learn very well from studying Graphic Organizers. My actions involved getting information form my books and my class notes and converting it into the Organizers. My materials were my books, my notes, and SmartArt. The Organizers will help me study for my exams, which is how I am being evaluated in my class.
