Image Discussion

One thing I've been thinking about as I watched the webinar and read the Abilock article is the importance of giving students the opportunity to be producers in terms of visual information literacy. There are so many examples we can show students about how photos and images can be manipulated to reflect a "version of the truth". This lesson becomes even more meaningful when students are given the opportunity to use photo editing tools to experience this firsthand. I liked the assignment idea on the Digital Photos Webinar where students use editing tools to manipulate a photo in an inconspicuous way, and then have classmates guess at which image is the original.
