As people need skills to be able to interpret these messages being visually literate is crucial and should be part of the teaching curriculum together with textual reading and computer literacy since it enhances critical thinking thinking.

It is very important to be able to decode visual messages, even from an early age, since in the new millennium we are bombarded by a continuous stream of images almost round the clock. It should definitely be included in the school curriculum since children should be able to comprehend that images are not "innocent" and convey messages which usually express the creator's point of view. Being able to dispute these meanings, improves critical thinking skills.-Maria Emmanouilidou]]> 2021-10-25 19:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1842811262 https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1842853858 I believe that visual literacy is the ability to interpret images , to "read" them as if they were texts, to understand any underlying messages. I think it is very important because, after all "an image equals a thousand words" as we say, an image can give us more meaning than a lengthy text could in a very short time. I believe it should be a part of the school curriculum as images are everywhere around us, especially now, with the extensive use of the internet and all sorts of electronic devices. It is something that children can greatly benefit from. Katerina Daikou

We are given visual experiences from the moment we are born. Colour, light and shape are vitally important to the developing child who wishes to make sense of the world around him.

It is definitely important, since an increasing amount of information is presented in visual forms. Making visual literacy a part of the school curriculum would help students understand, evaluate and use information and ideas in the form of images.

I believe that it very important as images are all around us and as ''A picture is worth a thousand words''.
Undoubtedly, it should be part of the school curriculum as it will help children use their imagination, be creative, express their feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas. Also, it will allow them to think critically, to interpret messages, to communicate with others.
Therefore, we should ''look between the lines and read between the words''.

We take information with all our senses but it is mainly through our eyes that we receive 90% of it and can process it immediately in our brain. VL should be taught to children as they consume images in a great degree through their social media, so they should be trained as to what they see and learn how to "read" visual images.

I believe it is important to teach this ability in class since it is the first fundamental form of communication for an infant. In a world mostly based on images, students should be able to critically "read" an image as they do with a text.

It is important to be able to construct meaning from all visual media, and I think it would be useful if one is planning to use films and/ or museum visits at school.

I really believe that it is very important, as we are surrounded by images, which we have to interpret. I think it should be incorporated in the school curriculum, as visual information and thinking can act in a "holistic" way. It can facilitate the overall teaching process by promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, interdisciplinarity, producing instead of just consuming.

Visual literacy is the ability to understand and use images and/or videos in the educational process or in everyday life in order to achieve a certain goal. I think it is very important and it should be taught to students since images and the internet are becoming more and more an important means of expression in our lives. Young people are very familiar with images and digital technology, so, it's easier for them to understand concepts and express themselves through these means.]]> 2021-10-29 08:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1853512083 Irene Koumpi https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1854872900 In my opinion, Visual Literacy is the ability of human beings to process and effectively interpret the huge bulk of stimuli received by means of the eyesight. It is of vital importance as it is closely related to the inner nechanisms of the brain, its cognitive functions, that allow thinking and eventually communication. Incorporating Visual Literacy in the school curriculum will undoubtedly benefit students immensely, as it will sharpen their perception, strengthen their understanding and enhance their critical thinking. ]]> 2021-10-29 23:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1854872900 Defining visual literacy e_naridou https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1855161307 Visual literacy is about having the background knowledge to interpret an image so as to understand the message it conveys. It is also about having the ability to use or create the appropriate images in order to send your message to others. In our days, images are of great importance in the media and the internet and that’s why visual literacy should be a part of the curriculum.

It builds stronger readers, readers who are able to think about texts in numerous ways. Visual literacy encourages student reflection, analysis and evaluative thinking skills, therefore it should definitely be part of the school curriculum.

As everything we see involves images, it is essential that we learn to pay attention, understand the explicit and implicit messages , use them ourselves and expand our knowledge of the world .

The important thing is to learn how to read and write images through visual exposure.

The combination of them will enhance learners’ perception and awareness in a metacognitive stage where letters, digits, symbols and images will assume a multifunctional meaning. As a result, by showing learners the means to combine textual, computer and visual literacy, teachers can help them to read the world in a multilayered way.

It should definitely be included in the school curriculum if we intend to promote learners’ critical thinking and include more progressive teaching techniques.

Sometimes an image can carry more meaning than a whole text. It can also carry feelings and discuss ideas in a more powerful way than a text can. https://padlet.com/georgiadelimp/6sojcgxqzeumhqk1/wish/1856911358 I believe that visual literacy is really important in a curriculum since everyday we are bombarded by images and kids are highly exposed to them.

It enables us to make sense of the world around us. Visual literacy is paramount for any kind of learning to take place. It follows that it should be an integral part of the school curriculum.

Therefore it is essential that they develop the necessary visual literacy skills to navigate this image-laden world we live in.
