Visual Article

Some of what I read in this article seemed like it would go over the heads of an elementary student. However, I feel that some of these things could be altered and used in an elementary classroom. One of my favorite things in the article was when it said that teachers and students should act as “co-learners”. I think that is very important. I think it is also important to remember that sometimes our students will know more than us. When working like technology, it is very likely that some students will know more than me. I also liked the evaluation that students would complete for their classmates. I think this helps build the idea of a community of learners. I also liked that the article suggested using a reflection sheet for composer/designer. This requires students to really think about what they have done. I do think it is very important for students to be exposed to these visual literacies. A lot of what we do is technological and students will just fall behind if they do not learn these things.
