Abstract
How can teacher educators, in-service, and pre-service teachers really see their present situations? Their problems? Their past and futures? As we argue here and in the rest of the book the use of visual approaches to self-study can literally help see things differently. The strength of visual methods lies in harnessing the power of images to bring things to light in both personal and public ways and to offer multiple theoretical and practical perspectives on issues of self import. This chapter draws on traditional technologies but also look forward to the future by exploring new media and new technologies that can complement the possibilities for self-representation in the public face of self-study.-
