"We've all heard it before: "A picture is worth a thousand words." That famous idiom (or is it a cliche?) first appeared in a 1911 newspaper and has been widely used since. In today's society, however, the phrase has taken on a whole new meaning. Using images instead of text to convey ideas-known as "picting"-is becoming the norm among today's digital-first students."

"Two interesting observations: In the K-12 classroom, today's youth spend 90 percent of the time with text-based materials and 10 percent of the time with image-based materials. Outside the K-12 classroom, today's youth spend 90 percent of the time with image-based materials and 10 percent of the time with text-based materials. (CN is saying that ES is exaggerating (again). OK, OK … The percentages aren't exact -but they are absolutely in the right ballpark.)"
