I wanted to do add another dog to our series of how to draw videos. I like the way this tutorial on “how to draw a bulldog” came out because it reminds me of cartoon animals that I used to watch when I was a kid. The lesson itself is simple and fun for all to enjoy doing. Have fun with today’s video tutorial and stay tuned for next weeks lesson.
I have enjoyed finding lesser-known holidays to celebrate on my blog, I hope you have enjoyed learning about them. Here is another one… Did you know today is National Parents as Teachers Day? In honor of all you parents and teachers I found this informative article (originally posted on Medium.com) that I would like to share.
I was talking to a friend about the HBO movie, Rethinking Dyslexia that aired recently. We had both been very impressed by the movie. I’ve researched and written about dyslexia in relation to being a visual learner, but my friend has first hand experience with a son who is dyslexic. As we talked about Brandon and his learning experiences, I was enormously impressed by the success he’s found in his career because of his perseverance and the ways he learned to make things more visual for himself.
Back to school means back to vocabulary tests. Our visual learners are not too excited about any tests – but vocabulary tests can bring extra anxiety because words are not their native tongue.
I have been driven for many years, in all I do, to find ways to help children be more confident and successful. Writing Being Visual was a long, labor-intensive process, especially for me as a visual learner, but I truly believe that when we understand the way our visual kids think, can help them be more successful. When I hear from parents that have read and applied visual learning techniques, I am enormously grateful to be a part of this important conversation.
This is what one of our reader’s had to say:
On this crisp Fall Saturday, grab pencils, a drawing pad, your kids and learn how to draw a puppy. These fun “How to Draw” videos are 2 minutes, easy to follow, step by step directed drawing lessons.
This is a never before seen peek into my home office. I wanted to share how I have visually organized my office.

October.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
October is a fun time of year to engage with nature and the changing season. I have 12 activities that are fun for kids:
The iPad can be utilized as a valuable teaching tool for their children, and its mobility means it can go anywhere a child does. Here are our top iPad app picks for Elementary school learning by grade, from Education.com.
