Routledge Literacy in a Digital World - Teaching and Learning

Explore the changing landscape of education in Literacy in a Digital World by Kathleen Tyner. Part of the Routledge Communication Series, this book examines how literacy is defined and practiced through a historical lens. Tyner investigates how new communication technologies are resisted and accepted by society over time, providing a foundation for understanding modern information use. As digital technologies change the nature of literacy in contemporary society, a disconnect emerges between traditional schooling and new ways of teaching and learning. This text addresses the questions raised by a global, networked educational environment. It provides a rationale for necessary changes in schooling to meet the demands of an age of information. Readers will gain insights into how digital tools push the boundaries of traditional literacy and what this means for the future of education.
