The Digital Image
With digital media, people can often bypass official institutions to produce their own media, knowledge, produtcts, services and texts... to compete with the professionals or to critique mainstream sources. (James Paul Gee)

Conclusions
We need to embrace “the visual” in our materials and classroom practice.
We need to encourage learners to create, interpret and interact with images actively.
We need to prioritize tasks over tools. Is technology enhancing the task?
We need to consider ways of engaging learners with images both in and outside the classroom.
