I am so glad you pointed out that visual literacy is not "providing a correct answer."  So many students feel intimidated about answering questions in class--will they have the "right answer?"  It can be scary.  As edudators we can teach students that many times, there is no "right answer" and interpretation of our world is individual and WILL be different.

You are right that we need to avoid "inserting information." I find that as a teacher, I need to work on that skill.  Sometimes, I do not give my students enough "thinking time," or time and opportunity to be thoughtful in their answers and expressions.

I'm hoping I can work on this during the next school year and become more of a facilitator who helps guide students in critical thinking--allowing their minds to work and ideas to be built off of one another.

Thanks for sharing!
