Self Teaching Critical Thinking For self-teaching, a good way to start is to look at the "Twenty-One Strategies and Tactics for Teaching Critical Thinking" on this web site. Start in particular with the first three suggestions and apply them to questions, issues, conversations, things you read and see, etc., in your daily life, no matter what your principal activities are. Do this frequently and share your thoughts with others. After a period of time, perhaps a day, a week, a month, or even a year, depending on your present critical thinking level, start applying the other suggestions in "strategies and tactics". Adapt the strategies and tactics to your own situation.

Visual storytelling is nothing new. We only need to look to the earliest signs of humanity for proof—simple paintings on the walls of caves tell the story that people are a visual tribe. Today, it seems, communications must be visual in order to be compelling, as well as to compete with the massive amount of information available to us at any given moment (even Google acknowledged this in 2001 by introducing image search). Whether it’s a web video, infographic, or illustration, visual assets can communicate a wealth of information rapidly, and in ways that our brains process differently than other, more traditional mediums.

The secret to producing these compelling, yet bite-sized morsels of information is having “visual literacy,” or being able to think in pictures. As someone who thinks visually, I want to share five tips that I believe will work for anyone who is looking to communicate and influence through a medium that transcends the written word: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Introduction If you consciously take advantage of your natural thinking processes by gathering your brain’s energies into a “storm,” you can transform these energies into written words or diagrams that will lead to lively, vibrant writing.

Whether you are starting with too much information or not enough, brainstorming can help you to put a new writing task in motion or revive a project that hasn’t reached completion. When you’ve got nothing: You might need a storm to approach when you feel “blank” about the topic, devoid of inspiration, full of anxiety about the topic, or just too tired to craft an orderly outline.
