Visual Communication

  • Why do we use visuals?  We use visuals to help tell our stories.  For some people (like myself) need to see something to fully understand it. 
  • What role do visuals play in communication?  Vvisual communication helps deepen the meaning of the text and pictures in front of a person.
  • How do you see visuals being important to your education? your daily life? your future career?  As mentioned I am a very vvisual learner so with everything I do I try to put some kind of picture (if possible) with it so I can better understand the material.  Visuals help daily life by making tasks easier, such as driving signs.  As far as my career goes, visuals will help keep me organized in an office (colors, pictures, and labels).
  • What Literacy Is To Me

    Considering your first blog and our discussions in class today, make a list of all literacy acts you perform in an average week. 

    In an average week I…drive (read signs), send emails, use common sense, read, write, follow directions, type, use general computer skills, and text message.

    First English 207 Post

    1.  What do you expect from this class?

             I expect to learn better writing skills and to gain better understanding of the differences ways that one can be considered literate. 

    2.  How do you understand the term “literacy” (or, what is literacy)?

              To me literacy is not only being ‘book smart’, but it’s having common sense and knowing about the world around you (current events).

    3.   Why do we write?

               We write because it is an effective way to share our thoughts to the world.  In an instant we can send information or our thoughts around the world!  It also gives us a chance to get our thoughts out of our head and onto paper.  Some find this a better way of communicating feelings.
