EYES IN CONNECTICUT: DEVELOPING 21st CENTURY
VISUAL LITERACY TO FOCUS ON SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
The Teagle Special Collections Project / Workshop Two
Yale University
March 3, 2006
9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Image collections, in whatever format, constitute unique
special collections that can be individually tailored to each
teacher's pedagogical intent.
Connecticut librarians and teachers will join Yale faculty
and staff from different disciplines to explore teaching with
specialized image collections and ways to assess enhanced
undergraduate research skills.
Presentations will share teaching experiences and demonstrate:
• how to impact
student learning by using visual resources,
• how to incorporate
images to address pedagogical objectives,
• how to help students
develop critical thinking skills by using images in a variety
of disciplines, and
• how to discover
and access visual special collections for teaching.
