When it comes to conveying a message effectively, sometimes mere words aren’t enough. Wendi thrives on thinking creatively and communicating visually to get to the heart of any message. With nearly 30 years of experience, she has literally seen how combining visuals with words has the power to improve how people remember, understand, and ultimately communicate ideas and information.

Wendi Pillars shares her creative ideas about visual notetaking in clear and easily useable chunks. She focuses on how visual imagery improves thinking and synthesis, not on the creation of beautiful art. Explaining how to help students and others process their ideas by using her manageable techniques, Pillars makes you want to try visual notetaking the next opportunity you have.

I loved this book, an A-Z visual encyclopedia/instruction manual/principle dictionary of ways to think about visual teaching, speaking, and learning. You might use it if you are a teacher, or a speaker who relies on visuals, especially visuals that you create in the moment, as notes or responses to students, or illustrations of what you are talking about.
