This book brings together an international group of literacy
studies scholars who have investigated mobile literacies in a
variety of educational settings. Approaching mobility from diverse
theoretical perspectives, the book makes a significant contribution
to how mobile literacies, and tablets in particular, are being
conceptualised in literacy research. The book focuses on tablets,
and particularly the iPad, as a prime example of mobile literacies,
setting this within the broader context of literacy and mobility.
The book provides inspiration and direction for future research in
mobile literacies, based upon 16 chapters that investigate the
relationship between tablets and literacy in diverse ways. Together
they address the complex and multiple forces associated with the
distribution of the technologies themselves and the texts they
mediate, and consider how apps, adults and children work together
as iPads enter the mesh of practices and material arrangements that
constitute the institutional setting.
