take the quick “Fake or Foto” test online to see if they can identify which images are real photos, and which are computer generated images.
Students compare results as a class and discuss.
Questions for discussion:
How can we determine if an image is fake?
What were the signposts for them in determining if it was real or fake? Were they accurate?
What are the implications of this for us when we have to “read” images online?
Can we really trust what we see with our own eyes?
Apply your understanding of visual literacy to the following images: Comment on three TEE for each. Select three different techniques for each so you have 12 in total.
Next: research the context for each of the images. How does it shape your perspective knowing the background information of each?
