Session Description: Looking for an easy way to infuse visual literacy in your instruction? Try using comics in the classroom! Visual literacy is quickly becoming a must-have skill, and infusing comics in your instruction can help students easily learn and practice it.

This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

  1. Learn to use comics to teach visual literacy strategies;

  2. Explore tools to create comics; and
