Hall, Justin R. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2011
Comic books and graphic novels are one of the newest fully fledged art forms, a vibrant, hybrid medium birthed in America and brimming with all the wildly experimental vigor of youth.

Mills, Jane – English in Australia, 2010
The fundamental purpose of education is surely to ensure all students benefit from learning in ways that allow them to participate fully in the economic and creative life in both the local and global community.

Moline, Steve – Stenhouse Publishers, 2011
Some educators may view diagrams, pictures, and charts as nice add-on tools for students who are visual thinkers. But Steve Moline sees visual literacy as fundamental to learning and to what it means to be human. In Moline's view, we are all bilingual. Our second language, which we do not speak but which we read and write every day, is visual.…

McTigue, Erin; Croix, Amanda – Science Scope, 2010
While diagrams make the text more visually appealing and provide an image of the text, they also do much more.
