Notes on The Longest Mile: From Media Resources to Successful Lesson Plans
Presenter: Lynell Burmark, VisionShift International
Lynell Burmark always has interesting statistics and thoughts to share about Visual Literacy. (The Visual Literacy book is also available as an ebook now.) I've heard many of the resources and stats before but here are some interesting resources, etc.:
- The most effective PowerPoint slide is one with image only IF there is a voice over (speaks to dual-coding research by Allan Paivio)
- Using illustrated materials, retention and recall increase 42% and transfer 89%
- Start your class with a picture...perfect "anticipatory set"
- Free high-res stock photography at http://www.morguefile.com/
- More image sites available on handout "Web Resrouces for Images" at http://www.educatebetter.org/
- Jerome Burg did "Google Lit Trips" using literature and Google maps
- What percent of the Internet is educationally relevant? 6%
