Learning Opportunities

Visual Literacy is being aware of how students experience images, video, and other forms of multimedia. Images must be evaluated in a similar way to written texts. Like text, images can be used accurately, deliberately, misleadingly , or carelessly. Some images, like texts, can be interpreted in different, sometimes contradictory, ways. This three part session offers the skills students need to question why the author of a document has chosen particular images and why students react to them the way they do.
