How can visual literacy and the use of the Internet impact the teaching and learning process in the classroom? What are some visual-thinking strategies you would like to use in your classroom? What role do you want the Internet play in your classroom?

Visual literacy is very important in the classroom because it allows students to actually see some difficult concepts, such as the water cycle. Using visual literacy and the Internet again allows students to see concepts as they happen. After the Haiti earthquake and the Iceland volcano eruption I located videos on the current events to show to the students. They had a lot of questions about both occurrences, some of which I needed to use the Internet to answer. The Internet helps greatly with the students learning, especially my urban students.
