Description
Critical Network Literacy offers a fresh approach to professional development for educators. Kira J. Baker-Doyle argues that most current opportunities are lacking in social interaction, and proposes a framework that harnesses the collective knowledge and expertise of educators to drive educational change. The Critical Network Literacy (CNL) framework combines critical theory, multiliteracies theory, and social network theory to create meaningful continuing education experiences. Baker-Doyle draws on empirical studies, meta-analytical research, and her own experience with collective organizing efforts to demonstrate the benefits of CNL in educational spaces. This book provides a practical guide to cultivating CNL, including exercises that reinforce social competencies, questions that prompt dialogue and understanding, and real-world examples that illustrate its relevance to key educational practices.
