ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education | Association of College... - 1 views

  • Visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media. Visual literacy skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, and technical components involved in the production and use of visual materials. A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture.
  • The importance of images and visual media in contemporary culture is changing what it means to be literate in the 21st century. Today's society is highly visual, and visual imagery is no longer supplemental to other forms of information. New digital technologies have made it possible for almost anyone to create and share visual media. Yet the pervasiveness of images and visual media does not necessarily mean that individuals are able to critically view, use, and produce visual content. Individuals must develop these essential skills in order to engage capably in a visually-oriented society. Visual literacy empowers individuals to participate fully in a visual culture.

State of Flux - Images of Our Changing Planet - 0 views

  • If you're teaching lessons on climate change and human impact on the landscape, State of Flux could be a handy resource. Along with each set of images there is a caption about the area and the significance of the images. You could show some of the images to students without revealing the captions and ask them to propose ideas accounting for the causes of the changes they're seeing.

      This is a great tool to be used in science lessons, specially if you are teaching global climate change. For instance, you compare and contrast pictures from Mexico city in 1973 and 2009 to talk about urbanization.

Reading images: an introduction to visual literacy - 2 views

  • Literacy” usually means the ability to read and write
  • , but it can also refer to the ability to “read” kinds of signs other than words — for example, images or gestures
  • Visual literacy is the ability to see, to understand, and ultimately to think, create, and communicate graphically.

  • looks at an image carefully, critically, and with an eye for the intentions of the image’s creator.
  • teachers work to help students not only to decode words but also to make sense of what they read.
  • Observation, as we’ve noted, is integral to science. Critique, useful in considering what should be included in an essay in Language Arts, is also a part of examining a visual image. Deconstruction, employed in mathematical problem solving, is used with images to crop and evaluate elements and how they relate to the whole. Discerning point of view or bias is important in analyzing advertisements and works of art.

  • But the obvious thing to do was to evolve the potential of this very stable listserv in a number of social media ways. While I am not sure which of these will be the favourites, the idea looks something like this: share a link on the listserv and store it for easy retrieval any time in the Diigo group! share your library images in Flickr, because we need to collect the ideas from around Australia Like us on Facebook – and include us in your News Feed. Share things you find, and get into the conversation. Perhaps 140 characters on Twitter will be just the thing for you – just another way to stay in touch and build the teacher librarian community.
  • Most K-12 classrooms in the United States today don’t use interactive blogs. By “interactive,” I mean a blog website which permits posts from students as well as the teacher, and comments from blog visitors as well as class members. As I explained in my post earlier this week on the iThemes education blog,
  • The past two months, I’ve had opportunities to ask different groups of educators the same question via an interactive SMS poll powered by PollEverywhere. The question I’ve asked has been: How many different assignments last year did you invite students to share on your interactive, classroom blog? The graph below summarizes responses in early June in Fort Bend ISD, which is in Houston, Texas. Of 156 respondents, 78% answered “zero.”

  • Ypix.me is a simple service that you can use to share images with others. To use the service just upload a picture and Ypix.me generates a link that you can share via email or your favorite social network. If you're using Chrome or the latest version of Firefox you can simply drag images from your desktop to Ypix.me to share them.
  • Applications for Education If your students are capturing images to use in multimedia projects and they need to share those images with others, Ypix.me could be a handy little tool for that purpose. No registration is required in order to use Ypix.me.

  • ommon scenario today is a classroom filled with digitally literate students being led by linear-thinking, technologically stymied instructors
  • The greatest challenge is moving beyond the glitz and pizzazz of the flashy technology to teach true literacy in this new milieu
  • Digital literacy represents a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment, with “digital” meaning information represented in numeric form and primarily for use by a computer. Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media (text, sound, images), to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. According to Gilster,5 the most critical of these is the ability to make educated judgments about what we find online.Visual literacy, referred to at times as visual competencies, emerges from seeing and integrating sensory experiences. Focused on sorting and interpreting—sometimes simultaneously—visible actions and symbols, a visually literate person can communicate information in a variety of forms and appreciate the masterworks of visual communication.6 Visually literate individuals have a sense of design—the imaginative ability to create, amend, and reproduce images, digital or not, in a mutable way. Their imaginations seek to reshape the world in which we live, at times creating new realities. According to Bamford,7 “Manipulating images serve[s] to re-code culture.”

  • 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.

    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.

  • we might even notice a few Standards for the 21st Century Learner that fit right in. “Is this your best work” is a self-check that sounds a lot like “Assess the quality and effectiveness of the learning product” (3.4.2) and “Recognize how to focus efforts in personal learning” (4.4.3).

      Using grandparents as the figure, instead of parents who are likely the person to be contacted when there is poor behavior or work, or even when there is good news to share, reminds students that their work matters.

    "Media literacy empowers people to be both critical thinkers and creative producers  of an increasingly wide range of messages using image, language, and sound. It is  the skillful application of literacy skills to media and technology messages. As  communication technologies transform society, they impact our understanding  of ourselves, our communities, and our diverse cultures, making media literacy  an essential life skill for the 21st century."
