Description
How would you implement Critical Digital Literacies in your own classrooms and educational programs?
You will find a valuable resource to answer that question in this volume, with a pronounced focus on social justice. Seventeen contributors advance the theories and praxis of Critical Digital Literacies. Aimed at literacy, teacher education, and English Education practitioners, this volume explores critical practices with digital tools. The chapters highlight activities and approaches which cross the boundaries of: genre; critical data literacy; materiality; critical self-reflection; preservice teacher education; gender; young adult literature; multimodal composition; assessment; gaming; podcasting; and second-language teacher education. Authors also explore the challenges of carrying out both the critical and the digital within the context and confines of traditional schooling.
Contributors are: Claire Ahn, JuliAnna Avila, Alexander Bacalja, Lourdes Cardozo-Gaibisso, Edison Castrillon Angel, Elena Galdeano, Matthew Hall, Amber Jensen, Elisabeth Johnson, Raul Alberto Mora, Luci Pangrazio, Ernesto Pena, Amy Piotrowski, Amanda Miller Plaizier, Holger Poetzsch, Mary Rice and Anna Smith.
