<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello All!<br />
<br />
This blog is the <span style="font-family: georgia;">new</span> <span style="font-family: georgia;">version</span> of <span style="font-family: times new roman; font-weight: bold;">The ReView</span>, IVLA's (International Visual Literacy Association) newsletter, now digital and online! Our intention is to have our newsletter more agile, and at the same time, open for everyone's contributions. Yes, your contributions are welcome, for any section.<br />
<br />
As mentioned earlier, <span style="font-style: italic;">Google Analytics</span> has been successfully installed to our blog. And, to our surprise, visits have been from such a wide variety of countries, that listing them all is quite unpractical. We have had, to this date, visits from no less than 65 different countries! Hopefully, we will continue to achieve, via web, a broader internationalization of IVLA.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
Paula<br />

IVLA is an <span class="yshortcuts">international organization</span> that represents members with many different cultural and professional backgrounds. We need to embrace the diverse perspectives of our members, IVLA officers and Board members, committees, and publication editors. We will not always agree on the best ways to address the needs of IVLA, but different points of view are vital to the development of creative ideas that further the goals of the organization. <b>Our diversity is our strength</b>. By channeling our different perspectives and talents into reflective discussions, we can emerge with collective visions which are more creative and insightful than individual ideas.<o:p></o:p><p></p> <p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">During this next year I hope you will share your unique perspectives with me and with each other.
