Omschrijving
This book explores the challenges and rewards of engaging students in literacy learning through multimedia design. The first research of its kind, it applies key themes of critical sociology to multiliteracies, inspiring educators to envisage the changing shape of literacy research.
We've made great progress in theorising multiliteracies - but realising them in the traditional, print-based cultures of schooling is a far more difficult challenge. This book traces the journey of a researcher, a teacher and her students in bringing multiliteracies to life in the classroom.
The Multiliteracies Classroom is a well-written and timely contribution to the field of literacy and language learning. The book provides extremely valuable insights into the ways in which new technologies, together with linguistic and sociocultural diversity, are altering the nature of literacy and the implications of being literate. It is certainly a thought-provoking work “intended to make a significant contribution to education for years to come”.
This is both an entertaining and an erudite book that discusses the latest and most relevant pedagogical theories, but grounds them in the practical, everyday activities of a primary school classroom...This book provides thought-provoking and illuminating discussion on how we can best prepare our children for the digital world. It is also a good place to start for educators who are feeling slightly anxious about the changing face of literacy teaching.
