We educators talk about the importance of using visuals in our
teaching but in her book "Visual Impact," Wendi Pillars opens up a
whole new world of possibilities about what that could actually
mean and the impact it could have on our students!-Larry Ferlazzo,
high school teacher, author and Education Week advice columnist
Every page of Visual Impact is filled with an idea, tip, strategy,
information, doodle or how-to to inspire and enable anyone to bring
visual thinking into their life, classroom, business or world. From
the research behind the why to the incredible visuals supporting
each how and what to the incredible variety of ideas and examples,
this book is not only for gathering knowledge and building skills,
it is a forever resource everyone can use for years to come to
enhance and enrich their lives, learning, connection and thinking
through visuals.-Carrie Baughcum, Special Education Teacher. Author
of My Pencil Made Me Do It: A Guide to Sketchnoting
I've been sketchnoting for quite a few years and I thought I knew
all I needed to know about visual notetaking. Not so! In her book
Visual Impact, Wendi Pillars combines text and visuals to describe
the power of using text and visuals to "connect, clarify, and
deepen understanding." Part text, part visual explainer, part
tutorial, and ALL reference. This is a comprehensive reference on
visual notetaking that illustrates (literally!) the many possible
applications of this powerful notetaking and communication method.
This book is perfect for the beginner as well as the experienced
practitioner. An unexpected bonus of Wendi's approach is that she
offers many ways for you to show others the benefits of visual
thinking and describes how you can bring others along on the visual
thinking/communication path. I am glad to add this book to my
library of references.-Rob Dimeo, Physicist and inveterate
doodler
Visual Impact will inspire you and let you into a new understanding
of visuals. Wendi shares her gifts with us and lets us in on how
and why to use visuals ourselves and with learners of all
abilities. I absolutely love referring back to the pages in this
book!-Valentina Gonzalez, @ValentinaESL Author and Consultant
