Editor's Notes
- The focus of our day is on Visual Literacy. There will be overlaps between video, imagery and presentation in general. The goal today is to begin to establish some guidelines and ideas to support your move to a more visual classroom and even before that, make the case for a more visually diverse learning environment I&#x2019;m going to talk about some big ideas as well as some practical, specific tips. Feel free to view the day from a number of lenses: -Student,Teacher,learner -Hope to stretch your thinking, challenge you but provide some entry points
- What do you think of when you hear the word design? What is Design? Considerations for Teaching and Learning Practical Examples Q and A
- Design is all around us
- Design is all around us
- Design is all around us
- Design is all around us
- Search for shows about design over a 3 day period
- Search for shows about design over a 3 day period
- A Whole New Mind Things can be functional and beautiful These are inextricably linked.
- First do the quiz 15 years ago, few people could do this. It&#x2019;s about computers and technology But it&#x2019;s also about design

- First do the quiz 15 years ago, few people could do this. It&#x2019;s about computers and technology But it&#x2019;s also about design
- Design should be front and center in our planning. It&#x2019;s not just about the cake. Design is inextricably tied to content.
- Teach the basics of photography and videography Lots of resources online Connect ideas of visual to written A shot=Sentence A sequence=Paragraph
- We are text snobs and always have been. Pictographs were seen as less sophisticated when in reality offered at least as much information, if not more. They often were much better at expressing emotion
- My family were archivists. Capturing special events, birthdays, vacations, graduations. Paula&#x2019;s father was a photographer capturing those events as well as their lives Today we are all photographers. Cheap failure
- You can be your own photographer but now we can share in each other&#x2019;s love for images. Over 3 billion photos Flickr is far and away my primary source for imagery
- You can be your own photographer but now we can share in each other&#x2019;s love for images. Over 3 billion photos Flickr is far and away my primary source for imagery

- Every minute 20 hours of video are uploaded to youtube. 28,000
- Less than 30 years of broadcasting for the 3 major networks pre Cable TV.
- More than ever, this should lead us to spend more time teaching good writing and design. How many of you have students turning to youtube for learning?
- Our ELA curriculum identifies 6 strands. What gets the emphasis?

- Given the current abilities/tools and habits,
- Define lecture Mini-lecture format Storytelling Teaching This is not just for teachers but for students. Anyone presenting ideas or telling a story.
- With a digital projector waiting back in my classroom, I can't help looking for interesting, relevant images to put in front of my class. A digital projector shrinks the time-gap between my learning moment and theirs. A digital projector has effectively buried the difference between What Fascinates Me and What I Teach.
- These elements are applicable to almost anything we create Students should have some understanding of these elements and build upon these principles as they create more content.
- Presentation Zen
- This speaks to the concept that we need good content first, visuals can help but without a compelling ideas, visuals won&#x2019;t save you.
- We need to sometimes get down to the core of our ideas. Often software and technology gets in the way. Be purposeful in our planning.
- Whitespace or Negative space
- Our tendency is to fill up space with more text and graphics. Whitespace allows for focus and emphasis. Rests in music and pauses in speech can be extremely powerful. Wait time is another great example of whitespace.
- Classic example here of whitespace in design
- Boundaries can be helpful and often can generate more creativity than open ended assignments
- Most assignments are too long. No video over 3 minutes. No presentation over 5. Eliminating unnecessary content so take high priority.
- Bad font choice, size and color What size font do you think that is? 30
- What size is this? 115
- PPT is not good or bad.
- Continue to ask what do I need the &#x201C;stuff&#x201D; to do, as much a what can the &#x201C;stuff&#x201D; do for me. We&#x2019;ve become victims of our technology.
- Notes on the screen are for you, not your audience.
- Staring at the screen and unreadable text. Your visuals support your story. They aren&#x2019;t your story. Otherwise send them the PPT and sit down.
- Seth Godin Sometimes this is a leap for us. We aren&#x2019;t sure how this relates to all our work. But what we design/present should require a response
- Research shows that there is actually reduced retention when you read the text on the screen to your audience.
- hyperlinked An amazing resource on &#x201C;how to present&#x201D; Even simple as a learning tool. Content is vast and engaging. Any and every subject area
- Hyperlink Look at featured slideshows Have students analyze what is well designed
- How many know what CC is?
- There is some good built in photos from within PPT. The issue the best ones get overused
- Don&#x2019;t be afraid. Let&#x2019;s look at some specifics related to slidedecks.
