As a self-identified visual learner, I recognized early on the importance of visualizations in helping me to learn chemical concepts and in helping me to teach others to learn chemical concepts.  In this talk, I will address several forms of chemical visualizations (static drawings, dynamic computer animations, molecular models), my experiences with teaching and learning using these types of visualizations, chemical education research involving these types of visualizations, and suggestions for other teachers and learners struggling to effectively use these types of visualizations.
