From decoding to scrapbooking, from using search engines to playing video games, and from daily literacies to workplace literacies, each chapter pairs clear explanations of a particular literacy theory with concrete examples of how technology can empower students and enrich instruction. A 'must read' for literacy professionals seeking to transform learning in their schools."--Julie Coiro, PhD, School of Education, University of Rhode Island "The New Literaciesprovides a broad, generously framed set of perspectives for those entering into a serious engagement with 'literacy.' Anyone who needs to have a real sense of the central questions, what the different positions are, and what their consequences are can take this book as the perfect navigational device. In these pages you will find a welcoming, open approach. Written with great clarity, the book yields powerful insights for novice and seasoned researchers alike."--Gunther Kress, DLit, Faculty of Culture and Pedagogy.
