  19. Visual Literacy: What is it? “Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, use, appreciate, and create images and video using both conventional and 21st century media in ways that advance thinking, decision making, communication, and learning.” 21st century skills: visual literacy. (n.d.). Retrieved Mar. 14, 2005, from 21st Century Skills Web site: http://www.ncrel.org/engauge/skills/vislit.htm.

  20. Supporting Research "Young people learn more than half of what they know from visual information, but few schools have an explicit curriculum to show students how to think critically about visual data." Mary Alice White, researcher, Columbia Teacher's College.

  21. Supporting Research "The majority of information absorbed by human beings is collected with our sense of vision. It seems logical the we emphasize the development of visual skills as a way of preparing for successful and satisfying lives." A Guide for International Visual Literacy Association Board Members and Officers (Page 4) Return

  22. This is your brain Actually, it is a picture of a brain model showing the two hemispheres

  23. The Belief Left Brain Right Brain • Analytical • Logical • Sequential • Rational • Analytical • Objective • Looks at parts • Creative • Random • Intuitive • Holistic • Synthesizing • Subjective • Looks at wholes

  24. Both hemispheres are involved in cognition and memory. The right hemisphere tends to remember the gist of an experience. The left hemisphere tends to remember the details. The left hemisphere can only pay attention to items on the right side of the visual field; the right hemisphere has a global spotlight. The Reality The Reality Return (Medina, 2008)‏
