  • ""LITERACY FOR CHILDREN IN AN INFORMATION AGE was developed in response to the urgent need for a literacy methods book that is relevant in today's information-driven society. Cowen and Cohen present a modern, useful text that defines literacy using technology and meets the changing needs of K-12 instructors, providing practical tips for integrating technology into literacy instruction. As technology has had a profound impact on the nature of K-12 teaching-especially the teaching of reading and writing-some scholars believe that today's digital technologies have changed the meaning of "literacy." Similarly, nearly every state has included technology-related competencies in their standards at nearly every grade level. With this in mind, LITERACY FOR CHILDREN IN AN INFORMATION AGE also includes examples of best practices, software packages, and websites."--Publisher's website."
  • "Smart cell phones, text messaging, social networking, twittering, internet searches - today's world is a very different place than it was 10 years ago. New technological applications are changing the way that people communicate, socialise and access information. That means that education is changing too. The challenge for teachers is to help students learn how to use technology to promote higher order thinking and to solve problems. This text identifies the new literacies, approaching the subject as not just an end product of reading and writing, but rather as a process that is constantly changing in our information driven society. Whether you are a prospective or in service teacher, you'll find useful strategies for integrating technology into the curriculum, keeping current and tailoring instruction to meet the needs of all students."
