""Like a compass guiding you to what's important and why in this
rapidly evolving field, this new edition is utterly stimulating but
also thoughtful and measured."

Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain "
""Essential reading for those interested in new and emerging
literacy practices, New Literacies maps the contours of on- and
off-line participation and how it is transforming learning and
communication. This book provides the necessary theoretical
background and illustration of practice for a radical re-appraisal
of how we think about literacy and literacy education."
Guy Merchant, Professor of Literacy in Education, Faculty of
Development and Society, Sheffield Hallam University"
The new edition of this popular book takes a fresh look at what
it means to think of literacies as social practices. The book
explores what is distinctively 'new' within a range of currently
popular everyday ways of generating, communicating and negotiating
meanings. Revised, updated and significantly reconceptualised
throughout, the book includes: Closer analysis of new literacies in
terms of active collaboration A timely discussion of using wikis
and other collaborative online writing resources Updated and
expanded accounts of digital remix and blogging practices An
explanation of social learning and collaborative platforms for
social learning A fresh focus on online social networking A new
batch of discussion questions and stimulus activities The
importance of social learning for becoming proficient in many new
literacy practices, and the significance of new media for expanding
the reach and potential of social learning are discussed in the
final part of the book." New Literacies 3/e" concludes by
describing empirical cases of social learning approaches mediated
by collaborative learning platforms.
This book is essential reading for students and academics
within literacy studies, cultural or communication studies and
education.
