Today, while I was playing with Microsoft Office's SmartArt Graphics, I realized I was working with "sight-bites"--an image that confers a concept quickly and efficiently.
It takes a lot of thought and care to transfer a complex idea into an image, yet once you do it, the idea becomes readily available as you and your audience integrate the concept into other work and matters.
I plan to use the concept of "sight-bites" with my students next year as we utilize SmartArt Graphics and other models to transfer mathematical concepts and learning into images.
Thoughts?
