tical Literacies & The iPED Method in Philosophy: Aesthetics and Value of Art
Cocreate: The metamodal kineikonic approach signifies
a way for students to understand visual mediums as a
conglomerate of contributory modes rather than a
specific creation from one persons mind (Burn, 2013).
When considering the meaning behind David Lynchs
Eraserhead the emphasis of artistic construction
should not solely rely on Lynch. The use of embodied,
auditory and visual modes should all be considered
equally. Likewise when constructing their own art, there
should be greater encouragement on collaborative
projects to exemplify how multiple ideas and modalities
can amalgamate to create visual meaning.
Share: Students out of school literacies kindle
processes of learning that are deeper and richer than
the forms of learning to which they are exposed to in
schools (Clary, Lachuk, Corley, & Spence. 2011, p.136)
It is important for the unit to embrace the multimodal
learning outside the classroom. Homework tasks should
leave students engaged in multimodal literacies in
everyday life. When completing their final assignments
students should be considering a broader audience to
share their work with outside the classroom. Families
should be involved in the learning process through the
integration of positive visual literate practices in the
home as well as school.

Good: Some aims of the iPed model are consistently followed. Higher order aims of visual
literacies are not fully engaged with.

New Media Literacy has found itself to be particularly useful in the Philosophy classroom. Philosophy
asks students to study and involve themselves with
the modern landscape of art. For students to
achieve these skills they must first be proficient
critical digital text users. Knobel & Healy (1998) indicate that critical literacy stems from sociocultural theories designed to analyse the relationship
between text-users and text recipients. The aesthetics unit directly challenges the discourse of visual imagery and studies its power implications on
against a contemporary backdrop. The teacher first
introduces the unit by breaking down the signified
codes associated to the word beauty in lesson one.
Through these activities the students are already
beginning to contemplate the myriad of signal systems at work in the visual image world. While the
unit originally had a strong foundation in semiotics,
the iPED model highlighted that the unit did not accurately engage with the students own experiences.
Students were able to learn the information, but
they were not accurately able to rearrange that
knowledge to consider how it impacted themselves
personally. The new linking activities break down the
perceived boundaries between homelife and
schoolife. Students [are] most engaged when when
the teacher selected multimedia texts that addressed themes that were familiar to stdents (Mills
& Levido, 2011, para. 11). By making these
