2-sided help sheet for students (and teachers)

Several types of concept maps (in INTERACTIVE pdf format) This means you can link to them, students can access them, complete them, save and turn in electronically. They can also be downloaded and printed if there's little to no access to classroom computers. Or do some collaborative/small group work. Have small groups of students complete a task, work together on completing and explain/defend their concept map to whole group. Non-linguistic representations are a high impact teaching strategy that work especially well with visual learners. Consider using these for organization, pre-writing, summaries, etc.

Prezi is a way to jazz up your class presentations. As a visual learner, my attention is held better by something that is visually stimulating (e.g. not a white slide with black lettering). Prezi allows you to present the exact same content you would in any other presentation format, but allows for more excitement. We used this a bit during institute this summer and it was awesome. This link is just as much a resources for me, because I want to start using it more as well. I would encourage you to check it out if you do a slide show every day in class.
