Member since 2009
I teach courses on multimedia and photography.
I took a graduate course years ago called visual literacy and that opened my eyes to things I can study including children’s picture books and comics. Two to three times a week I spend about two hours with four and five year old children as they create, build, or play with materials to help me understand creative thinking and collaborative learning. I work with LEGO bricks to better understand how these materials can support learning and teaching.
