  • Is data visualisation just style over substance?

    26 September 2012 Last updated at 12:28 GMT Help

    The advent of sophisticated computer graphics has encouraged more and more use of data-visualisation - not least by BBC News.

    The clever means of presenting detailed text or statistical information in a non-conventional manner is developing fast, but some critics argue the core message is lost beneath flashy graphics and misleading information.

  • Children learn these skills as part of their lives, like language, which they learn without realizing they are learning it.
  • 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.”

    While this may not apply in all multi-cultural situations at ASF, it does relate to certain classroom situations and I was interested in the implications it has do anyone teaching in an environment where ESL practice and acculturation are primary learning goals. Excerpt "If differences in the interpretation of visual information can be identified which can be attributed to cultural background, visual material might be designed and presented taking these differences into consideration thus increasing the probability of the message intended being the message conveyed."

  • Students get to share their ideas in a way they can be proud of. Blogging is great for this because the posts are read not only by classmates, but also by anyone else who stumbles upon them online. Blogging promotes the development of good writing skills, so helping students take ownership of the project can help them write well. Blogging provides students with an outlet for things they may not get to share in the classroom, so giving looser guidelines on topics can bring about more interesting blog posts.
