This cutting edge book considers how advances in technologies and
new media have transformed our perception of education, and focuses
on the impact of the privatisation of digital tools as a mean of
knowledge production. Arguing that education needs to adapt to the
modern learner, the book's unique approach is based on a
disassociation with the deeply ingrained attitude with which people
have traditionally viewed education - learning the existing
symbolic systems of certain disciplines and then expressing
themselves strictly within the operational modes of these systems.
The ways of knowledge production - exploring, recording,
representing, making meaning of and sharing human experiences -
have been fundamentally transformed through the infusion of digital
technologies into all aspects of human activity, allowing learners
to engage with their immediate natural, social and cultural
environments by capitalising on their individual abilities and
interests. This book proposes a new approach to teaching and
learning termed 'cinematic bricolage', which involves generating
knowledge from heterogeneous resources in a 'do-it-yourself' manner
while making meaning through multimodal representations. It shows
how cinematic bricolage reconnects ways of knowing with ways of
being, empowering the individual with a sense of personal identity
and responsibility, helping to shape more aware social citizens.
