Whether you teach art\, science\, ELA\, history\, or any other subject\, students must communicate information. Students also must interpret a variety of data and information that is communicated in visual formats. This session will use a variety of resources (digital to analog) to highlight this skill. Join us to incorporate some amazing tools into your lessons and explore more ways for you and your students to express yourself. (This session highlights the SEP: Obtaining\, Evaluating and Communicating Information and the Communication Skill in NC Portrait of a Graduate.- best suited for teachers of grades 3-12\, any subject). \nFor more information about the class\, contact Michelle Taylor at michelle@openwaylearning.org and/or 828-206-3014 \nFor questions/issues about registering for the course\, send an email to registrations@wresa.org or call WRESA at 828-774-5681 \nIf you are unsure whether your school system is a WRESA member\, click  WRESA MEMBER List.\nREGISTER URL:https://wresa.org/event/from-open-way-learning-using-visual-storytelling-in-your-classroom/ LOCATION:Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center\, 455 Research Drive\, Mills river\, NC\, 28759\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wresa.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/OpenWay-VisualStorytelling400x230-.png ORGANIZER;CN="Michelle Taylor":MAILTO:mtbenign@ncsu.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
