Learning as a Visual Process
New Hampshire Public Radio
June 20, 2002

David Hyerle, Ed.D., is a guest on the New Hampshire Public Radio program The Front Porch hosted by John Walters. "David Hyerle is an educator with a radical notion - teaching students HOW to learn. In his method, students aquire a "tool box" of what he calls "thinking maps." Thinking maps are learning techniques that help students organize information visually. He says his method helps people nor only retain what they are taught, but use it creatively."
