Overview

This is a collection of 32 Technology Departments from the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy covering the 1998 to 2002 volume years. The pieces examine various aspects of new literacies and their implications for teachers and students. Web use, and other experiences with new digital information and communication environments.

The volume is organized conceptually into the following six sections: Historical Perspective, New Media Practices, Personal Meanings, Ethical and Policy Issues, Learning Opportunities, and Community. The book also addresses issues such as credibility, access, and privacy, and most centrally an understanding of what new media mean for teaching, learning, and literacy development.
