Just Thinking About…. the Power of Visual Learning with Dr. David Hyerle

Education has seen relentless adaptation to keep pace with numerous technological changes, which also means the methods by which it is taught must also evolve. One such method, Thinking Maps, has garnered attention for its ability to help students process and organize information in this fast-paced, information-rich era. With the exponential growth of digital content and the widespread adoption of personal devices, educators are faced with the challenge of equipping students with the tools to navigate and critically evaluate the overwhelming amount of data at their fingertips. How can Thinking Maps serve as a solution in this ever-changing educational landscape? On this episode of “Just Thinking…with Kevin Dougherty,” host and Chief Strategy Officer for 806 Technologies, Kevin Dougherty, talked with Dr. David Hyerle, the creator of Thinking Maps, to discuss the impact and relevance of these tools in today's classrooms. They also talked about the importance of lifelong learning, the growing sense of overwhelm among students due to the influx of information, and how Thinking Maps was designed to help both educators and students develop critical thinking and reflective skills. Some of the key points they explored during their discussion included: The importance of helping students filter and process the vast amounts of information available to them, particularly in the context of the digital age. The growing need for students to develop independent learning skills, allowing them to manage their own educational journeys effectively. The importance of long-term support and continuous improvement in the successful implementation of Thinking Maps across schools. Dr. David Hyerle is an esteemed educator, researcher, and creator of Thinking Maps. His work has significantly influenced educational practices, particularly in the development of visual tools that aid in the cognitive processes of students. Dr. Hyerle's background includes extensive experience in both teaching and educational consulting, and his contributions to the field have been widely recognized.
