Emojis, avatars, icons: Our world is becoming increasingly reliant on visual communication. But even as we edge toward a virtual world, it’s still critical for students to read and comprehend images and know how to make simple, meaningful marks to express themselves visually.

In this edWebinar, Dr. Susan Daniels, an educator, author, and speaker, explores creative and practical strategies that enable educators to work with the foundational skills of visual learning in the classroom. Attendees build a “visual toolbox” for use in visual learning and teaching. Based on the visual triad model, Dr. Daniels:

• Looks at how we can use the images we see, imagine, and depict while teaching and learning visually
• Examines research based on dual-coding theory, which illustrates how students learn best and have greater retention when working both visually and verbally
• Explores instructional strategies that are part of a “visual toolbox” teachers can use in K–8 classrooms

Visual tools and strategies help participants promote visual literacy across the curriculum and discover interactive activities to encourage visual learning and communication in all students. K–8 teachers will benefit from watching this recorded event.
