Watching a film in class does not need to be a passive boring activity. Unlocking the multimodality of films to promote learning, creating interactive visual media lessons and stimulating literacy across content curriculums through screens is truly a way to increase classroom engagement! In this session we will show you how to choose effective visual media, present it, implement lesson activities and assess student learning beyond the boring outdated watching a movie and doing a quiz. By looking at film/media AS a text and then using it in class in an engaging and ACTIVE way we can help boost literacy, critical thinking and classroom engagement. Sandy Williams Quinn has been using visual media in her classroom beyond more than just a passive activity for more than two decades. She is currently about to complete her PhD at Georgia State in Language and Literacy Education with the specific focus of using visual media in the classroom AS text and she is excited to show as many teachers as possible how to unlock the truly SUPERNATURAL possibilities of visual media in the classroom!
