\nIn 2003, 2005 and 2006, I conducted “Best Practices” workshops for K-12 teachers on behalf of the\u00a0SC State Department of Education. My teaching approach is three-pronged: start with visual literacy; secondly address\u00a0advertising<\/a>; and lastly the moving images<\/a>. \u00a0My workshops involve close reading media messages and include many hands-on, interactive activities.\u00a0I \u00a0welcome inquiries regarding my\u00a0professional development workshops<\/a>\u00a0for schools\/districts\/conferences.\u00a0 Frank W Baker<\/a><\/p>\n
