The Importance of Visuals
Why Visuals?
Approximately 65 percent of the population are visual learners, so it's likely you'll have several in your group. Visual learners are often called spatial learners and, unsurprisingly, learn and remember best through visual communication.
Of all the information transmitted to brain, 90% is visual.
As opposed to text, visuals are processed 60,000x faster.
Humans are capable of getting the sense of a visual scene in less than 1/10th of a second.

What Is a Graphic Recorder?
Graphic recording is the real-time translation of conversations or presentations into text and pictures. Graphic recorders do three things simultaneously: they listen for key ideas, synthesize them, and document them in visual form.

All visuals can be created in-person or digitally. 2020 has been a year of change.

About Me
MY NAME IS meg
I am Meg Ratto, previously Davis, and I am a graphic facilitator and graphic recorder. I have learned to move off the PowerPoint and onto the wall to create engaging visuals and create opportunities for meetings and training for participants to connect with data and protocols. Since the pandemic in 2020, I have learned to utilize visuals in Zoom meetings to engage still participants behind a computer screen. I use the graphic recording to tell stories and share knowledge and graphic facilitation to build conversations in various Steering Committee and Working Group meetings. I have used my visual techniques with the Harris County Youth Collective, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, The Harris Center, GEMS Camp, the Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, MD Anderson, and many other non-profits and for-profit organizations. I genuinely believe visuals are a way to engage participants at every level, carry the meeting on to the following steps, as well as a way to absorb and maintain the information.
