Use Visual Planning Tool for Better Learning

  • 02/01/97

Part of Edunetic's Productivity Tool line, Visual Planner is expressly tailored as an aid for visual learners and their teachers in grades 4-12.

Visual Planner's new version lets teachers and students organize text in a variety of formats, including concept maps, story webs, Venn diagrams and flow charts. Its processes can be applied to any discipline.

Developed through the Plano (Texas) Independent School District, the software is designed for teachers by teachers, helping to integrate computer activities into the classroom. Teachers can set up templates that cannot be edited by students. Students can receive assignments from the teacher or use the graphic organizer tool to develop their own unique formats.
