Beth Dichter's insight:
Research tells us that visuals are an important element of learning, and that when visuals are used in classrooms, yet many classrooms are based on text.

Experts in many fields can look at images and quickly learn complex information. Are you teaching your learners visual skills? * Retrieving Practice - "By combining visual training with active learning, students can go from novice to expert in far less time than with traditional study methods." As many of us prepare to return to school embracing visuals and teaching our students how to interpret visuals has the potential to promote better understanding. This post provides some great pointers and you will find a link to the original research.

Google Digital Literacy Tour iKeepSafe is dedicated to the education of families on how to stay safe online. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Google to develop curriculum that educators can use in the classroom to teach what it means to be a responsible digital citizen. The curriculum is designed to be interactive, discussion filled and allow students to learn through hands-on and scenario activities. Each workshop contains a resource booklet for both educators and students that can be downloaded in PDF form, presentations to accompany the lesson and animated videos to help frame the conversation.
