ISBN: 9789463004909 出版年：2016 页码：230 Brill

This text explores the re-visioning of literacy and literacy teacher education for the digital era, approached from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. Because the authors are experienced teacher educators as well as researchers, they are able to give extended examples of how to apply the theory in practice. The authors are realistic about what is appropriate and feasible for teachers and teacher educators, rather than just jumping on a technology bandwagon. "Literacy learning continues to be central to schooling, and is currently of major concern to educators, policy developers, and members of the public alike. However, the proliferation of communication channels in this digital era requires a fundamental re-thinking of the nature of literacy and the pedagogy of literacy teaching and teacher education. This text brings together papers by experts in teacher education, literacy, and information technology to help chart a way forward in this complex area. Because of their background in teacher education, the authors are realistic about what is appropriate and feasible – they do not just jump on a technology bandwagon – but they are also able to provide extended examples of how to embed technology in the practice of teacher education."--Publisher website.
