  • Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances—especially when the cultural or social benefits of the use are predominant
  • The Cost of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy, based on scores of longform interviews with teachers, shows that the fundamental goals of media literacy education—to cultivate critical thinking and expression about media and its social role—are compromised by unnecessary copyright restrictions

      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.

  • To this end, mobile apps and Web 2.0 tools can facilitate implementation of activities requiring students to use skills at the top three levels of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy--analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Here are five examples of activities that target these levels of the taxonomy and can be used with students across grade levels in a variety of content areas. Teachers of very young children can implement these ideas as whole class projects.

  • 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.

      This is a very simple way to explain what infographics do. You can also find three tools to create your own infographics: easel.ly, infogr.am, visual.ly

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

  • exploring and adding to knowledge
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • 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.

BBC News - Is data visualisation just style over substance? - 0 views

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why did the authors include this diagram? What do you see in this diagram? What in the diagram helps us to know what we are seeing? What can we learn about plant cells from the diagram? How does the artist show the cell is like a water-filled baggie and not flat like the paper? How does the artist draw the plant cell to show its depth?
  • What Do You See?, the dialogue between the teacher and her students is written out in detail and clearly demonstrates how purposeful questioning can support student understanding of diagrams and other graphics used in science textbooks.
