The growth of interest in virtual worlds and other online spaces
for children and young people raises important issues for literacy
educators and researchers. This book is a timely and much-needed
collection of current research in the area. It provides a synthesis
of knowledge and understanding and will be a key resource for
scholars, students and teachers, particularly those interested in
digital literacies. The work presents a coherent vision of current
knowledge, and some of the most engaging, empirical research being
undertaken on virtual worlds and online spaces in and beyond
educational institutions. It contains international studies from
the UK, North America and Australasia. This is an important time
for those researching virtual worlds, videogaming and Web 2.0
technologies, since there is growing professional interest in their
significance in the education and development of children and young
people. Whether these technologies are solely associated with
informal learning or whether they should be incorporated into
classroom contexts is hotly debated. This book provides a
principled evaluation and appreciation of the learning, teaching
and instruction that can occur in digital environments, showing
children, young people and those who work with them as active
agents with possibilities to navigate new paths.
