5. CAST- Teaching Every Student (Universal Design for Learning) encourages visual literacy by utilizing three brain networks: Recognition networks Gathering facts. How we identify and categorize what we see, hear, and read — the "what" of learning. Strategic networks Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas—the "how" of learning. Affective networks How students are engaged and motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested—the "why" of learning.

11. Why and how to digital storytell? How? Photopeach Photo Story 3 SlideShare Movie Maker Why? This excerpt of a student’s essay on Global Literacy tells… “ Participating in these events and activities helped me realize that I am selfish and have practically everything I want. There are others that do not get the same opportunities as I do, and these experiences have helped me realize that I could do so much more for humanity. So after I graduate from high school I am thinking about going into the military and becoming a chef. I want to be apart of something more than the United States - the whole world. Although I still plan on owning my own restaurant, I also want to help third-world countries by starting a global organization that can help people in terrible situations.”
