Literacy in the Information Age

Inquiries Into Meaning Making With New Technologies
Bertram C. Bruce, editor

If you are tired of how-to manuals that simply celebrate the many new technologies
available for classroom use, this is the book for you. The collection of 32 columns
from the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy examines critical aspects of literacy in
the information age, focusing on the complex issues surrounding new learning
technologies, such as credibility, access, and privacy.
Educators of elementary-grade through college students will gain a thorough
understanding of what new media and tools mean for teaching, learning, and literacy
development.
