When using technology for the student who is a visual learner, I must take into account the following: their ability to see all of the colors present on the screen; their ability to see the words written on the screen (the font size must be large enough); the organization of the material on a movie or television screen; their seat placement in the classroom; the use of notes,diagrams, maps, graphs, charts, and pictures on PowerPoint lessons; the use of key words in a visual lesson; a reliance on visually appealing materials in all classroom lessons. All of these must be taken in to account before a visual learner is able to begin learning the material presented on a PowerPoint lesson, because their ability to learn will quickly fall apart a minute or two after the lesson has begun, causing them to feel frustrated and restless about their inability to recall what they are learning. It is important that the teacher pay attention to the "photographic memory" of these students, especially if this photographic memory is exceptional, because doing so will gain the trust of the student and prevent their self-confidence from sinking low.
