Abstract:

This Handbook provides a comprehensive and international representation ofstate-of-the art research, theory, and practice related to principal areasin which significant developments are occurring in the study of literacyand technology. It offers a glimpse of the commonalities faced by literacyeducators around the world, together with specific challenges raised byunique circumstances.

The effects of technology on literate activity have been both sweeping andsubtle, marked by an increasing variety of changes that are difficult toevaluate and project. Perhaps the only prediction that can be offered withcertainty is that the impact of technology is irreversible. Specificchanges may come and go, but literacy and technology seem inextricablylinked. This Handbook is dedicated to that linkage and to examining theintricacies that define it.

"International Handbook of Literacy and Technology: Volume II" is anessential reference for researchers, professionals, and students inreading/literacy education, literacy and technology, educationaltechnology, and related areas, and will serve well as a text forupper-level and graduate courses on these topics.
