Newly updated:
Photos of the Year 2008 (see also
Visual literacy)
Every year at this time (the end of the year) organizations publish their picks
for photos of the year. Using these photos with students is a great way to
begin teaching visual literacy. Students should become
proficient at not only
analyzing images, but creating them as well. (Roll over each logo to determine
