We live in a high-tech, multimedia world, and it's documented that many young people respond constructively to graphic communication, yet most of our classroom activities still only emphasize text communication. Even inquiry-based approaches to learning often stress writing lists of answers, reading texts, and writing papers. The potential of graphic inquiry in teaching and learning warrants greater exploration at all age levels.
It's new. It's graphic. And it is the first of its kind. Designed to bridge theory and actual practice, Graphic Inquiry contains applications for new and practicing educators and librarians that can truly bring classroom learning into the 21st century. This visually rich book provides numerous, standards-based inquiry activities and projects that incorporate traditional materials as well as emerging social and collaborative technologies.
This full-color book provides real-world strategies for integrating graphic inquiry across the curriculum and is specifically designed to help today's educators identify tools and techniques for using graphic inquiry with their students. Although research is cited and references are provided, lengthy text passages are avoided in favor of practical, visual examples rooted in best practice and presented in graphic format. Readers will view this book as a quick reference to timely, realistic activities and approaches as compared to a traditional textbook.
