http://schema.org/description
- ""This volume traces digital literacy as it has emerged over the last few decades within the United States. Through their research, [the] authors ... chronicle the development of electronic literacies in the stories of 20 individuals with varying backgrounds and abilities. The authors selected the case studies from a corpus of more than 350 people who participated in interviews or completed a technological literacy questionnaire during a 6-year period. Each chapter in the volume situates the participants' life-history accounts in the cultural ecology of the time, tracing major political, economic, social, and educational events, factors, and trends that may have influenced, and been influenced by, digital literacy acquisition and development. These literacy histories are richly sown with information that can help the reader situate the processes of acquiring digital literacies in specific cultural, material, educational, and familial contexts. The first-hand accounts presented here offer, in abundant detail, everyday literacy experiences that can help educators, parents, policymakers, and writing teachers respond to today's students in more informed ways"--Back cover."
