Full Description
The almost universal reliance upon digital
tools for social, academic, and career development will only become more
pronounced in the years to come. Teacher education programs remain ill-equipped
to adequately prepare educators with the pedagogies needed to foster digital
literacies. What is needed is a set of best practices towards teaching digital
literacies so that teachers can better meet the emerging needs of their
students in today's classrooms.
Where should teachers begin? What are the
essentials of digital literacies within K-12 contexts? And how might we
reimagine teacher education programs to optimally prepare teachers for working
with technologically connected youth, whose literacies are more complex,
interconnected, and diverse than ever?
This volume provides a practical
framework for teacher education programs to develop K-12 students' digital
literacies. It offers a set of best practices in teaching digital
literacies that promote access to research-based pedagogies for immediate
implementation in classrooms.
