In today's dynamic educational landscape, educators continually seek innovative tools to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. Among these tools, poster makers have emerged as a versatile and powerful asset in the classroom. At VariQuest®, we understand the pivotal role visual and kinesthetic learning tools play in education, and our range of solutions is designed to support educators in this mission. In this blog, we explore the myriad of benefits of using a poster maker for educators.

According to Neil Fleming's popular "VARK" model of learning types/styles, there are 4 main learning styles - including visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Other models list additional types including social, logical, solitary, musical, and combinations of any of these. Visual learners comprehend concepts best when there are visual aids to complement learning. Examples of this could include graphs, symbols, depictions, or otherwise. It's why we decorate our classrooms with vibrant anchor charts, conceptual reminders, and graphic examples! And because neurodivergent students typically learn better with visuals rather than relying on verbal, special education classrooms can benefit greatly from supplemental learning materials that complement teaching a wide range of concepts.

We're talking a lot about virtual needs and resources these days, but what about needs for those who NEED to be in-person? We at VariQuest are corresponding (from a distance, of course) with friends and family who are on the front lines of fighting this pandemic in healthcare facilities, and a common need at these places was around mitigating confusion via signage. People showing up to schools and hospitals need to know where they can and should go, to get the essential food pick-up and emergency care they need. And we thought - we can help with that!

At VariQuest, we offer many tools and resources to help you enhance the learning environment in your classroom.

Educators have numerous opportunities to present information in a fun and engaging way through interactive learning.
