What conventions of this layer of communication do you consciously understand and interpret, and how much of it is interpreted on a subconscious level?
The article talks about how important it is for students to be aware of visual manipulation, and suggests multiple different ways of introducing projects aimed towards this in the classroom. Bearing potential class compositions in mind, what are some possible difficulties that may present themselves, or how might these activities where students are producers need to be adapted?
Some digital images are edited so well that it is impossible for the average person to tell if an image has even been altered. Do you feel that critical viewing should only be applied to photos that have been altered? Or should we assess and evaluate all visual images regardless of editing?
How can we incorporate learning about visual elements and principles and understanding different cultures’ visual coding systems into subjects like English and Socials
How can teachers teach students about what makes an image persuasive in relation to their particular teaching subject?
What are the most important aspects teachers should be aware of when creating technology rich activities for students to explore visual images?
