Graphic Organizers to the Rescue! Helping Students Link and Remember Information by Gloria A. Dye
This article was on the Teaching LD organization website. It is used as a resource for K-12 educators in the Learning Disability field. The author taps into a lot of resources that are used in our literature review such as Ausubel. She presents a very strong and solid argument how graphic designers can help students think and retain information. There are a lot of examples on how to use graphic organizers and their benefit. The author focuses on students with LD and provides me more insight on my students.

How Teachers Learn Technology Best by Jamie McKenzie
This article is noteworthy for iMET12’s review. How Teachers Learn Technology Best touches on a lot of things that gave us reason to join iMET. The article talks about how important technology is in the educational setting as well as the resources to allow teachers to use technology in their curriculum and integrate it completely and correctly. The use of graphic organizers and scaffolding became a part of curriculum building for educators. This gave me a brief idea of more to come for educators using technology in the classroom. The article ties in what I do already and gives me ideas to develop more with graphic designers.
