Redefining Literacy: When the Arts and Core Curriculum Collide | Edutopia - 0 views

  • We have begun to introduce students to the language of the arts, and we have placed the acquisition of this language alongside the traditional forms of literacy and numeracy. Now I'm beginning to see some exciting things happen: Students are beginning to use the language of the arts to critique their own work and the work of others. For instance, students have been watching segments from the television show So You Think You Can Dance and writing formal critiques in response. Students are starting to use the elements and principles of the language of the arts to connect various forms of creative communication. For example, they are comparing balance in dance with balance in graphic design. They are making connections between melody in music and lines in dance and visual arts. These intertextual connections are powerful literacy moments for us all. Generally speaking, students are turning to artistic forms of expression in other curriculum areas. Dance and the visual arts have become part of our geographical lexicon as we explore the theme of migration. Drama and music have found their way into our exploration of cells in science.

      This Prezi presentation is easy to understand. If you teach in Lower School this is a good example to introduce visual literacy into your curriculum.

  • Using visual literacy can result in: increased quantity of writing increased quality of writing wider use of vocabulary greater use of imagery increased fluency more adventurous writing improved attitude to writing greater engagement with writing greater commitment to writing improved motivation, self-esteem and enthusiasm.
  • Use of images can be a powerful tool in the teacher’s toolbox. It can stimulate children’s discussion and motivate their interest.
  • There are also many cross-curricular opportunities to link visual literacy with other core subjects.
  • Visual images are fast becoming the most predominant form of communication
  • ‘Young people learn more than half of what they know from visual information, but few schools have an explicit curriculum to show students how to think critically about visual data.
  • facial expressions, body language, drawing, painting, sculpture, hand signs, street signs, international symbols, layout of the pictures and words in a textbook, the clarity of type fonts, computer images, pupils producing still pictures, sequences, movies or video, user-friendly equipment design and critical analysis of television advertisements.
  • purposeful writing – writing which motivates, is purposeful, relevant and has an audience
  • not only teachers modelling but writing for pupils and alongside them. This leads onto the idea of teachers as talkers; modelling talk and valuing talk and its role in writing

    Jenna, this is an excellent article, I really enjoyed reading it, it gave me some insight on visual literacy and how important it is for children to, not only develop the skills to be visually literate but to be exposed to it at home and school in the correct way.

    I just loved this article! it made it easy for me to understand the term visual literacy and what and how to use it in class. I stole this post from Jenna K. but please take some time to look at it!

Duffelmeyer and Ellertson, Critical Visual Literacy - 0 views

  • Critical Visual Literacy: Multimodal Communication Across the Curriculum" makes the case for expanding the pedagogical space and communication possibilities in undergraduate communication-intensive and linked (learning community) courses by allowing students to create multimodal texts that deal with civic and cultural and/or discipline-specific themes.
  • To be literate in the twenty-first century means possessing the skills necessary to effectively construct and comfortably navigate multiplicity, to manipulate and critique information, representations, knowledge, and arguments in multiple media from a wide range of sources, and to use multiple expressive technologies including those offered by print, visual, and digital tools
  • Visual culture is not limited to the study of images or media, but extends to everyday practices of seeing and showing, especially those that we take to be immediate and unmediated
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In our present culture, in which our information often reaches us in technological and visual forms, the work Berlin described above extends, in the 21st century, beyond exclusively and perhaps even primarily written texts.
  • education [should] concentrate, not on the transfer of information nor on the reproduction of value systems, but on the urgent task of equipping people with the necessary "thinking tools" to make sense of historical processes so that individuals may become better at assessing the "likely" verisimilitude of any account or representation of the world

From Curriculum to Communication, a School Immerses Itself in Tech - 0 views

  •  
    Just a simple user and password from a school community can make a difference!! Incredible to see that communications with students and parents is so important for school information (academics and non-academics) to permeate in a community. Our school gmail, Google accessories and any other homework site (moodle) or grading space (power school) can make a difference for parents, students and teachers as a working guide :).
