Visual Literacy
Introduction:
See Towards A Framework for Visual Literacy Learning
Can students interpret, use, appreciate and create images and video using both conventional and 21st Century media in ways that advance thinking, decision-making, communication and learning.
Media Literacy Definition: Center for Media Literacy: The ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms
My definition: In my opinion, visual literacy is composed of three discrete skills: navigating, evaluating, and communicating (create and mashup) in the context of visual imagery.
The Changing Media Landscape:
Most of you have seen Google Earth. But have you seen this? (Googlelittrips.com) Or this? And what happens when YOU can create the visual map? What happens when you can combine Flickr and Google Earth?
What happens when you see something like this? Or this?
Does the number 2474434986 (Flickr.com number of images) have any meaning? What do you do with an image like this?
And what happens when everyone can do this-and your local newspaper starts accepting visual letters to the editor?
And as an educator, what happens when you can create a lesson with a resource like this?
And tap into the technology skills that kids have as evidenced by Episode 8 of Dylan's Couch (Views: 1,058,344, Comments: 3578 Favorited: 1799 times).

Part 2: Communicating Visually in the 21st Century: A Visual Literacy Framework
What exactly is the rationale or framework for the inclusion of visual literacy instruction in education, as it relates to life-long learning? See the Communicating Visually link directly above.
Color, text and design principles can be found at this link: Visual literacy design principles
Part 3: Visual Literacy in the Classroom-an activities continuum based on my definition of visual literacy, with resources for each component of the definition.
Navigate: kids have to be able to find stuff.
Flickr Creative Commons Search
Evaluate: kids have to seek meaning in images.

Communicate: kids have to use images to create meaning, by telling stories, creating content, and contributing.
