Picture This: A Discussion on Imagery (Carissa and Maria)

Digital Literacies and 21st Century Skills

In this week’s podcast, Carissa and Maria will be taking a closer look at imagery and visual literacy. They will examine what exactly visual literacy is, how to make content visually appealing, how to incorporate imagery into a classroom, and most importantly, why it’s important to incorporate in a classroom (especially in this new age of social media). Listen to hear more about how they feel about this topic!
