Reimagining Literacies In The Digital Age: Multimodal Strategies To Teach With Technology eBook

A reflective and practical guide for secondary school teachers on using innovative technologies in the classroom to support multimodal literacy development.

Living in a multimodal, multimedia, and multi-sensory world can be overwhelming. To prepare students to produce and consume the multimodal texts made possible through modern technologies, Schmidt and Kruger-Ross advocate for a slower and more deliberate approach to thinking and planning for teaching literacies. They showcase how technologies can expand, enhance, and inspire the consuming and producing powers of secondary students by examining visual and aural literacies before multimodal literacies. 

Embedded throughout the book are the voices and materials of real practicing and preservice teachers, via QR codes. Teachers of all experience levels will find new ideas to challenge, extend, and enhance their literacy practice.
