THIS explains why I think visual literacy is important--it's NOT just about seeing, but seeing beyond the ordinary! [|The Art of Seeing the Invisible]

This wiki is organized so that one studies the following topics through the links and information on each wiki page. (a work in progress--this is just the outline of what is coming.)


 * Home
 * A. Introduction--uses a concept attainment powerpoint to instigate questions and ponderings about visual literacy, visual memory and how they impact learning.
 * B. Nonlinguistic Representations-includes an article by Robert Marzano on the impact of nonlinguistic representations as an intro to them and introduces Steve Moline, author of the book, //I See What You Mean//, which describes how to help students begin to use visual representations to help themselves learn.
 * C. Every Picture Tells A Story
 * C. Reading Images- the two C.s give information on how to teach people to look more closely, particularly at images
 * D. Learning To Look
 * D. Picture Books The two D.s share many resources on using picture books to help readers look more closely
 * E. Using Images To Tell Stories-is going to speak to how to create historical narratives with images, or how to use charts and graphs to make a presentation more powerful
 * F. Visual Literacy and Inquiry will address specific lessons that include analysis of pictures to answer conceptual questions
 * G. American Memory Links will include many powerful American memory links not used elsewhere on this site.
 * G. Artful Ideas TTV (teaching through visuals) is a specific technique taught around looking at art. This wiki page will provide many links to museums and their artful ideas.
 * H. Visual-Spatial Learners We often don't know where to find higher order activities to support our visual spatial learners. This page will provide a resource for that.
