In the digital age of technology, the nature of the educational system is becoming increasingly more complex and globally focused.
Technoliteracy, Discourse, and Social Practice: Frameworks and Applications in the Digital Age utilizes a range of technologies and multiliteracies challenging social conventions and expectations of behavior. A defining body of research, this publication provides unique and significant insights into the diverse approaches and implementation of various contexts.
Pullen (education, Univ. of Tasmania), Christina Gitsaki (Internet English), and Margaret Baguley (education, Univ. of Southern Queensland) bring together 14 chapter-essays on technology in the service of global education, as considered by 24 Australian-, American-, and British-based subject specialists. The chapters are separated into three distinct sections: leadership issues, practical technoliteracy, and gaming-related literacy. Essays address controversial subjects, like the complications presented by the absence of technology in middle school curriculums and the practicability of gaming's didactic power. Although these specialist-oriented essays offer insightful reflections, the book seems incomplete; another volume is needed to address additional facets of this complex subject.
