Week Six Visual Literacy

This week I finished my photoshop tutorial! the end product wasn’t the coolest picture, but by completing the tutorial I re-familiarized myself with photoshop.I am surprised at how much stuff I am remembering in Photoshop from my Computer Graphics class in high school, I guess all is not lost. I am excited to continue working in photoshop and creating more projects. This week I also learned about visual literacy and I watched a tutorial video on iMovie. I am looking forward to making a video and doing more with visual literacy.


I think that visual literacy relates directly to elementary education. I think that videos are a great way of transmitting information to people and I think that they when used properly they can be very engaging and a great teaching tool.


here is a link to a cool diagram that shows some of the many benefits to using visual literacy in teaching.
