“It’s something that defined me. Dyslexia made me more visual.” – National Geographic photographer Robert Clark Are dyslexic people wired for photography? It’s easy to see how many people might agree. Many dyslexic people describe their preferred ways of processing information as nonverbal rather than verbal. Visuals may make up a significant part of that processing preference; other ways may be kinesthetic or spatial. In his interview with MSNBC, Robert Clark recalled daydreaming in class and not focusing on what was written on the board. What he noticed instead was a pattern of light moving across the wall. I had the chance to ask him about that in an interview: “(I was) in a room where the lights were turned off and there was a […]

There are several potential advantages to using a visual online math curriculum: • an online program is infinitely patient • programs can adapt to users – not too hard or easy – just right • hints and encouragement when needed • comprehensive curriculum with some periodic review • colors and animation to illustrate concepts • options to repeat information or provide additional explanation Recently, I heard about KooBits.com.
