<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Visual Literacy
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> As we create more electronic documents we need to be sure that our students are visually literate. This means that they have the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented in the form of an image. Visual literacy is based on the idea that pictures can be “read” and that meaning can be communicated through a process of reading (Wikipedia). Understanding visual literacy means that we can create more accessible graphics, images and documents. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> For more information on Visual Literacy see: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> [|Visual literacy Activities] www.museumca.org/picturethis/visual.html <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> [|Visual Literacy K-8] www.k-8visual.info/ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> [|Online Visual Literacy Project] www.pomona.edu/academics/courserelated/classprojects/visual-lit/intro/intro.html <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> [|Visual Literacy eLearning Tutorial] www.visual-literacy.org/
