  • 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

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.

  • Increasingly, institutions are seeing their students not only as consumers but also as creators of digital media--requiring a greater fluency in the use of new media tools.
  • It used to be necessary to learn how to type so that you could write your papers and use Microsoft Word…. Now, we teach [students] the technical foundation of the media-creation tools and then build upon that." --

  • Make Your Grandparents Proud
  • I saw a banner posted in the hallway of an elementary school this week that read, “Is This Your Best Work? Make Your Grandparents Proud.”
  • this school community is helping children build habits of meaningful self-reflection and consistent good effort, and teaching them to show and share pride in their learning.

  • 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.

      Schools is not the only place where students can learn about visual literacy. Today, students can learn about this topic while watching TV, reading a magazine, or simply in their ride home.
  • Jack Shulze of Berg says the map exploits today's higher levels of visual literacy from games, television and comics. Part of his purpose, he says, was "an exploration into way-finding devices." He writes about his influences here. It's a great image. To me it's also a great metaphor for one of statistics' all-time headaches: how to make aggregate data that describes whole populations, their lives, chances and risks, feel real and relevant to everyone's sense of "me, here, now".

  • 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.”
