The central ideas, however, first came to me in 2001, when I saw an idea diagrammed – not written out.

In that brief demonstration, a key was inserted into my ear that unlocked my mind to me. Learning would never be the same for me or for any student I ever taught. Understanding and teaching visual learning has been my mission ever since.
