      Creative idea for students to use disposable camera and take pictures at home, school, wherever, and have discussions about what they saw!

  • creating a statement of identity
  • personal enjoyment
  • cementing relationships
  • organising domestic routines
  • 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.

      As a psychology major and sociology-oriented person, I am very interested in the impact that the feelings of connectedness and belonging that technology supports have on our ability to be alone and introspective. Maslow describes that after food, water, and shelter, feelings of connectedness  are the next priority in the list of human needs. If technology is there to provide these feelings of connectedness in moments of solitude (think late-night facebooking in bed) where we were instead usually reflecting and developing independence, self-reliance, and potentially self-confidence. If we are no longer ever really alone with ourselves, will we become addicted to finding ways to be connected? Given how much many of us, for lack of a more academic term, simply "freak out" when we can't find out cell phones, I wonder what the psychological trends will be.

  • Infographics are all over the web these days. Some are useful, some are not, and some are just plain fun. Yesterday, on Cool Infographics I discovered an infographic that explains what infographics should do. The fun and somewhat informative explanation of infographics is made using Legos. Check it out below.

  • 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.
