Investigates the effects of computers and Internet technology on teaching and learning. Presents electronic examples that integrate well with high-quality mathematics instructional programs. (KHR)

Visual learning is a strategy for visually representing the structure of information and for representing the ways in which concepts are related. Based on the work of Ausubel, these hierarchical maps facilitate student learning of unfamiliar information in the K-12 classroom. This paper presents the research base for this Type II computer tool, as…
