Steve Barkley Ponders Out Loud
Education
Biology and Earth Science teacher and author, Wendi Pillars, provides a look at the power of sketching in teaching and learning. Sketching provides an opportunity for students to engage with content in a non-threating and low stakes world. Time for sketching can guide a synthesis of learning. Studies show that information is recalled exponentially more when paired with visuals than without them.
"Using sketching can add laughter and boost confidence to take risk both intellectually and creatively which is ideal for building community and ensuring understanding"
