Session+2

**Session 2 November 2 (12:30 – 2:30)** //Designs and graphics// "Simple, two-dimensional pictures are quite adequate. Studies show that if the drawings are too complex or lifelike, they can distract from the transfer of information." John Medina //Goals and Topics://
 * When to use realism vs. simple representations
 * Draw your ideas - no talent needed
 * Graphic organizers for understanding - making abstract ideas concrete
 * What makes a good graph for displaying information - go with simplicity
 * Mashing data for understanding - using the web in a new way
 * Creating graphics and signage that accommodate the human mind and emotion

//Learning Activities://Application to UDL principles:__represent__ - use a graph to illustrate data related to your practice__express__ - draw, choose clip art or use graphic organizer to demonstrate the 3 principles of UDL__engage__ -start “mini” Pencha Kuta (10 slides x 20 seconds) on using visual supports in your classroom or practice //Resources:// Open Clip Art []
