Class Description: The curriculum of design and attention to aesthetic has always been the property of the Visual Arts. However, as so much of our media is now consumed and created electronically, a new set of visual literacies have emerged. Awareness of how an audience interacts with that medium and how to take advantage of this to strengthen their message or purpose for communication will be addressed. The course will enable the individuals to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use and create images and visual literacy from contextual, cultural, aesthetics, intellectual and technical components. The optimal use of communication tools such as podcast, infographics, blogs, social networks, microblogs, and wikis will be addressed with tips for management and strategies to promote maximum learning in classrooms.

Reflection:
Visual literacy can fit in with Global Collaboration because visual literacy defies the constraints had by different languages. Being able to interpret meaning from pictures, and symbols can help create connections without having verbal communication. Visual Literacy fits into Project Based Learning because students are able to create and show their learning through the work they create and display. Finally, Visual Literacy fits into flipped learning, because you are putting the learning into your student's hands by having them decipher and interpret the symbols, pictures, and infographics given to them. They are able to make sense in their lives based on the things they are viewing. I love visual literacy because it gives students and teachers a chance to show their creativity and create things they are proud of and want to share with the world.Reflection:
