Picture This: Engaging Students with Online Images with Britannica
FREE WEBINAR
Picture This: Engaging Students with Online Images
Presented by Sara Torpey, Manager, Curriculum Specialists,
at Britannica Digital Learning
Monday, Nov. 3 at 4pm ET
REGISTER AT http://ow.ly/BnSZy
How can images you find online be used with students to spark curiosity and learning? In our community’s first webinar, Britannica Digital Learning’s Sara Torpey will explore ways that you can engage your students with online images. Classroom teachers and school librarians—experienced and novice alike—will benefit as we discuss ways to put photographs, illustrations, maps, diagrams, and other educational images to work, increasing the rigor and demand of Common Core-aligned lessons and activities at all grade levels.
Topics we will cover include:
• Where and why images fit in curriculum standards
• How to use images, such as photographs, illustrations, and maps, as discussion
prompts, visual cues, and do now/thinking starters
• How and why the same image can serve purposes in different subjects and
grade levels
• How to craft queries for abstract versus concrete images, and how these images
can be used
Sara also will field your questions during this interactive session. Join us on November 3rd to learn new ways to engage your students with online images!
