ELN 103 Lesson 4 Blog #4 Visual Literacy K-12 eLearning

What is visual literacy? Why is it important for K-12 eLearning?

Visual literacy is the ability to recognize concepts thru pictures, graphs, charts, diagrams, videos or maps allow with digital and printed text. In addition, an eLearning student K-12 needs to be able to thoughtfully edit and accurately interpret these images. The new saying is " Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true or a fact."
The eLearning students K-12 need to think about what the visual means. They need to elaborate verbally or in writing what their interpretation is of the visual object. The eLearning K-12 students should be expected to create their own visuals as a formative assessment of eLearning.
Things eLearning K-12 students need to think about when viewing visuals:
What exactly is going on in the visual?
Why do you think that is true or a reasonable interpretation?
Is there something else in real life that you have experienced that is similar to the visual?
How does it relate to you?
What have you learned from the visual?
Can you communicate this idea to someone else?
Can you summarize what you have seen?
Is this something real or made up (especially for younger students)?
Can the student put a series of visuals in order?
Can the students organize visuals and pictures?
How are things in visuals related?
How does a process work form beginning to end?
Can a student create their own visuals from a variety of media to show what they have learned, or to explain a concept in their own way?
Can a student explain a concept so someone else can understand it?
