Visual+Literacy

=Visual Literacy DRAFT=

This is a rough starting point to research the topic and then create something to assist our faculty; this might be a class, a seminar, a workshop or a learning community. Items listed are off the top of my head and my not have anything to do with the final product. Some are overlapping with interest in storytelling (and digital form), etc. This will be focused later.

**Important Questions**
How can images be used to enhance teaching and learning? How can students use images? How is digital information different from print? (Michael Welsch) By extension, how are digital images different from printed images (originals) (reproduced)?
