Abstract: Gunther Kress, professor of semiotics and education, contends that there has been a shift in the predominant form of knowledge construction, meaning-making, and dissemination from the idea of a “world told” to a “world shown,” where the concept of literacy goes beyond communicating and comprehending written texts. Media convergence has changed how we now understand what it means to be literate in a multimodal information rich society. This brief paper describes our initial exploration in the use of visualization as a tool to support inquiry in social studies education. The paper introduces our use of augmented reality to understand the geography of a university campus, 3D scanning of World War I sites using LIDAR, and the leveraging of AR and 3D models of extant buildings on a abandoned campus of an African-American segregated school.
