= = =//** Building Literacy for a Visually Rich World **//= [|Marianne Malmstrom] and [|Sarah Rolle] As educators, much of our focus is on teaching students to encode and decode written language. Shouldn't we be applying the same rigor to helping them analyze, interpret and critically navigate the imagery that dominates communication today? This interactive workshop will focus on the skills necessary for understanding and communicating in a visually rich world. Test your own visual savvy, learn to identify some of the ways in which images and video are manipulated to persuade or trick the viewer, and see several examples of multimedia projects in which students have put these skills into practice. You'll leave the workshop with resources to help you start or enhance your own visual literacy program.
