I came across this impressive Prezi presentation on Using Visual Thinking in the Classroom. I willl go back to it again when I have some more time to draw more ideas on better utilising photographs, concept maps, flow charts, and infographics in Economics lessons.

Many colleagues will be keenly aware of the benefits that come from a more visual approach although often times the input required to develop the resources is tough for hard-pressed colleagues. Just a thought .... email through or leave a comment on the blog about some of your favourite images or infographics that really work for you!

Here are some links to a selection of visual resources we have mentioned previously on the blog:
