Those of you who were present at the last Inkshed Conference may remember our panel on "Visual & Verbal Literacies." Well, we've had an opportunity, recently, to put some of the theory discussed there to the practical test: with the help of 10 students here at UCC, another faculty member & I have constructed a web site which, I think, begins to implement an integration of the visual & the verbal. Sponsored by the National Library (& funded by Industry Canada) we've created a site designed to introduce high school & first-year university students to the work & criticism of Earle Birney. Earle's Url is http://www.cariboo.bc/ae/e_birney/home.htm My students & I would welcome any feedback--suggestions, additions, bouquets, ... We look forward to hearing from you (& we hope that the new resource--that will soon be linked to the SchoolNet network-- may be of use in some of your own classrooms).
