Visual Literacy Tools for Curriculum in STEM Fields

Join University Museums CELT Faculty Affiliate, Dr. William Gallus, and University Museums curator Adrienne Gennett for a workshop to learn how to integrate visual literacy and learning into curriculum using University Museums Art on Campus Collection. Basic concepts for understanding how faculty can engage students to become better attuned to reading visual information will be presented by looking at several examples of art connected to STEM fields. Participants will be guided in ways to help students learn how to dissect and interpret visual information that can then become part of a toolkit for better critical thinking and communication skills. 

** Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptop for a hands on activity.

Students create a practical recording for reflective practice, Dr. Kira Werstein

Students create a practical recording for reflective practice, Dr. Kira Werstein

Dr. Kira Werstein, Associate Teaching Professor (Kinesiology) here at Iowa State, explains how students create a practical recording for reflective practice for this Tips for Teaching video (2m 7 secs).

Students recorded themselves, leading a friend or family member in an exercise. The students then used a specific rubric to reflect on their work and requested a peer to complete the same rubric. Finally, the students shared the recording and both rubrics, along with a self-reflection with Werstein.
