Visual learning is a significant component to any curriculum. In most cases, we are more responsive to visuals than any other communicative format. During this session we will examine three major elements to incorporating visual learning, visual storytelling, and visual creativity into any curriculum. The three foundational components are Visual Storytelling, Digital Storytelling, and the Cinematic Narrative. Our discussions, as well as audience participation, will involve the myriad of methodologies we can utilize to incorporate any or all of these visual learning strategies. We will further examine how in many cases the production processes mirror both the scientific method, as well as, the writing process. Throughout the session, we will also identify ways in which all of these Visual Learning methodologies align with the ISTE Standards specified in the description.
