Professional Development Workshop in progress, September 24,
2005 |
 |
Gender issues pervaded the media and education
discussion forums this past year. This workshop took on some
of these issues through inquiry-based discussion and hands-on
participation.
The workshop engaged participants
in:
- In-depth review
of the Picturing Women web site as resource and
discussion site.
- Creating critical
analysis questions revolving around gender and representation.
- Reviewing
materials on visual literacy and gender representation (to
be distributed at the workshop).
- Forming a
network of educators and community group mentors who are
interested in exploring representations of women in K-16
classrooms and in after-school groups.
