Product Description
LITERACY FOR CHILDREN IN AN INFORMATION AGE was developed in response to the urgent need for a literacy methods book that is relevant in today's information-driven society. Cowen and Cohen present a modern, useful text that defines literacy using technology and meets the changing needs of K 12 instructors, providing practical tips for integrating technology into literacy instruction. As technology has had a profound impact on the nature of K 12 teaching-especially the teaching of reading and writing-some scholars believe that today's digital technologies have changed the meaning of "literacy." Similarly, nearly every state has included technology-related competencies in their standards at nearly every grade level. With this in mind, LITERACY FOR CHILDREN IN AN INFORMATION AGE also includes examples of best practices, software packages, and websites.

Terrible text May 12, 2008
J. Brooks
This book is pretty terrible. It is almost impossible to find what chapter you're in by flipping through the pages. The information is generally very vague, that is, when you're able to understand it through all the misspellings. For some reason every other page includes an unrelated clip art image rather than any kind of informative or aesthetically pleasing photograph. Do not purchase unless you have to and then prepare to be disappointed.
