Description
Technology, Literacy and Learning: A Multimodal Approach by Carey Jewitt explores how new technologies are transforming education. This book examines the impact of technology on three key areas of schooling: knowledge as curriculum, learning pedagogy, and literacy across the curriculum. Jewitt analyzes teaching and learning with various digital tools, such as CD-ROMs, websites, and computer programming applications, to understand how they reshape these areas. The author also considers the effect of writing moving from page to screen on students' situated literacy practices and learning outcomes. By exploring the connections between mode, technology, and curriculum knowledge, Jewitt demonstrates that teacher and student roles in the classroom can be altered in response to new technologies.
