We should know by now that students do not all learn the same way. The "Eye Generation", for example, prefers not to read all abou it. Students today take in as much as 50 percent of the information they receive through visual images. Teachers are using visual media such as television, movies, video games, photography, and Facebooking both to engage this "eye-curious" culture and to help students think critically about what they see. The National Council of Teachers of English have focused on nonprint texts as part of their focus in English language arts and composition classrooms for decades. Read about it in this week's NCTE Inbox Blog.
