This is a presentation about some of the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching strategies. I hope you'll like it.

visual animals.The eyes
contain nearly 70
percent of the body’s
receptors and send
millions of signals along
the optic nerves to the
visual processing centers
of the brain… We take in
more information
visually rather than
through any of the other
senses” (Wolfe, 2001)
