Atlas Skills for Learning Rather than Learning Atlas Skills.
Carswell, R. J. B.
History and Social Science Teacher, v22 n1 p19-23 1986
Presents a model for visual learning and describes an approach to skills instruction which aids students in using atlases. Maintains that teachers must help students see atlases as tools capable of providing useful information rather than experiencing atlas learning as an empty exercise with little relevance to their lives.
