I did some graphic recording this Saturday at The Product Summit, here in San Francisco. At the lunch break, I tweeted the completed visual from the morning. As you can see from the screenshot above, live graphic recording greatly increases engagement on social media, as well as during the event!
We were considering the difficulties of one particular student with very severe learning disabilities, particularly around reading and writing. We have observed dramatic improvements in the way this student is able to make insightful connections when presented with images and video.
In the pre test she put an e on the end of this word. I made it like this so she would remember the letter T was the last to get in the car.

THE STORY
My daughter has been getting horrible grades in spelling until I started doing this. I create these crazy flash cards in photoshop, and then use them as the screen saver on our computer.
I get the spelling words in advance, and open photoshop, and just start google- image searching. I look for on topic pics, but also I keep the letters in mind that she cannot remember. I look for images that recall or could recall those letters' shapes, as well as reinforce the meaning of the word- a mountain replaces the letter 'a' in peak for example.
another strategy is that I interfere with the letter that she cannot recall- this week I have someone "stealing" the letter 'a' from the word steal, another week a baby bit off the corner of the letter 'w' from frown.
The best spellers are visual. She is visual. I am trying to cement these connections in her head.
