The Visual Literacy Classroom: From Pictures to Words
Webinar Date: Apr 28, 2026
Presenter: Hollis Dannaham
In today’s world images are everywhere and if a picture is worth 1000 words, then developing visual literacy skills in today’s classroom is key to success. The ability to make meaning from images, graphics and video needs to be directly taught and positively impacts reading and writing skills. Some students have an easier time accessing and learning comprehension skills through visual methods and then can apply those newly learned skills when tackling text. This webinar will offer strategies for teaching visual literacy to deepen overall learning and support all learners.
