visual learning systems
we are all visual learners The use of visual media such as videos, animations, and images are essential in teaching science. There is no better way to learn about the workings of the human body, the forces in creating earthquakes, or the nature of chemical reactions than with visual teaching tools.
Why is visual media so important in today’s science classroom? • Visuals take students to places not accessible to them, such as the Grand Canyon, • Learning visually makes science exciting, fun, and memorable.

customer testimonials --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ñ Visual Learning produces quality programs that are beautifully shot and simplistically presented. The programs cover a wide range of topics and are in Spanish which allows our channel to reach a wider segment of the population. IÍ m so glad we found Visual Learning.î ~ B. Price | ITV, Montgomery College, MD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The professional staff at Visual Learning Company have provided excellent support and quality media that are utilized in classrooms across the county. Visual Learning titles are some of the most popular media streamed through our new digital server and the associated teacher guides are top-notch." ~ T. Devlin | Program Director , Allegheny I.U. , PA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Materials from Visual Learning Company are consistently among the highest circulating items from our Media library. Visual Learning Company has set a high standard in the industry for powerful visuals, short segments and excellent support materials. We own all the titles available to date and will continue to acquire new productions." ~ J. Orzel | Media Services Coordinator, Broome-Tioga BOCES, Binghamton, NY --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I absolutely love the videos. The quality and ease of use is extreme. For every topic that I cover in the school year I start off with watching the video. The worksheets are done beautifully. So far this year I have not even opened the textbook. I use the videos and worksheets almost exclusively. With the iPods, I am able to send an absent student to the library to catch-up. I also use it to preview the videos at home. My way of teaching has changed for the better now that I have access to your videos." ~ J. Nielsen | Middle School Science Teacher, Wichita Falls ISD, TX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I love how the DVD is formatted for use in the classroom with the segmented parts, the vocabulary words, the video quiz, and the teacherÍ s guide supplemental information. I also like the narration for this age-group (K-3) and the very ñ visualî elements in both pictures and words as the information is described and explained." ~ S. Brisco | Assistant Professor , Oklahoma State University --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
