This book sets out a framework for rethinking the three key areas
of schooling that are most affected by technology's impact on
education today: knowledge as curriculum, learning and pedagogy,
and literacy across the curriculum. Carey Jewitt shows how all
three are reshaped by the multimodal resources and facilities of
new technologies, and points the way to rethinking teaching and
learning in this environment.
The author proceeds practically through an exhaustive analysis of
teaching and learning with technology-mediated materials such as
CD-ROMs, web-sites, the internet, computer programming applications
and computer games. She relates each in turn to the main curriculum
topics of English, Mathematics and Science. Through this detailed
scrutiny, the following questions emerge:
- How do the new technologies reshape knowledge as
curriculum?
- How does the use of new technologies in the classroom reshape
learning and pedagogy?
- As writing moves from page to screen, what is the impact on
students' situated literary practices and how does it affect
learning?
Through these questions this book demonstrates that mode,
technology and curriculum knowledge are fundamentally connected,
and describes how teacher and student roles in the classroom could
be altered in response to new technologies. Carey Jewitt calls for
a reconceptualization of literacy and reading as a "multimodal
design" and demands that the need for new strategies and policies
around literacy right across the board, and particularly in
relation to assessment, should be seriously and urgently addressed.
