    The document discusses the importance of visual literacy in the classroom. It argues that visuals should be used in teaching because the brain processes visual information faster and more effectively than verbal information alone. Some key points made include that the eyes are dominant over ears, 30% of the brain cortex is for visual processing, visuals are 60,000 times faster and 43% more persuasive, and using color can improve learning by 400% and increase willingness to read by 80%. The document provides examples of how visuals like graphics, photos, diagrams and other visual organizers can enhance learning.
