MODULE 2: HOW DOES VISUAL LITERACY LOOK in an EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT?
In a society where we’re learning more than half of what we know from visual information, it’s important to teach ourselves & students how to view visual data critically. We need to learn how to look beyond the surface & understand deeper levels of meaning in visual images. As you read these articles, hopefully, they will give you a new way of thinking about the way we (adults & children) receive & present visual information.
As you read….THINK ABOUT IT:
- What does a visually literacy teacher, leader, or presenter need to believe?
- If I’m going to teach the way this generation learns, how can it be done?
- How would a visually enhanced environment or product look?
