Hi, Nina!
Just a quick note to let you know how much I'm looking forward to taking
part in the Multi-modal Approaches conference!
Here's a tiny request: in future announcements, can you change the
description of me from "Freelance photographer" to "Photographer and
arts educator"
Thanks,
Barry

*In a culture in which vision is by far the dominant sense, and life
revolves around the visual, the potential for learning through other
sensory modalities is too often ignored. This innovative
international conference will address the challenge faced by
educators, artists and museum professionals to create multi-modal
learning opportunities that better serve all audiences. Psychologists
and educators will explore ideas and recent research findings relating
to other learning modalities, including touch, sound, language,
kinesthetics, and even smell. The conference will also examine the
relationships between vision, non-vision, and the other senses,
through discussions focusing on blindness and learning. Issues raised
include the communication of ideas about visual culture through
non-visual means, cross-modal interaction and multi-sensory
integration, and the implications of Universal Design for learning.
