Visual Literacy is a our connection to understanding what we hear. When foreigners travel to unknown land sometimes they can only identify restrooms, restaurants, police stations etc. by the signs and symbols or gestures. Analyzing and interpreting pictures can convey many meaningful messages in the classroom . The use of pictures help the students to connect to the lessons by prompting critical thinking. Visual images helps to support thoughts by means of producing images in the mind. Sometimes, colors also can help change a child's mood. For example on a cold and wet day, a nice bright yellow sun can help change the feeling of a dreary day. In my class, I use graphic organizers as a visual to help organize thoughts and patterns and ideas. Also, I would use hypertext and hypermedia as a problem solving and research strategy. . This is a great way to discovery learning and solve real problems. Power point presentations has been a great favorite of young children especially with animations and talking videos. Also, the students enjoy when the produce their own videos as a cooperative grouping project. Internet usage is now a necessity for me in my classroom because it supports my student's learning more effectively, especially with the usage visual support on the Internet. The children also look forward to the viewing and finding visuals to support the lessons too. This a great motivator and also it keep the students asking questions and seeking information.
