From: "Michael Thomas" <michael...@gmx.co.uk>
Proposals are being accepted for new books in the following series:
Book Series: Digital Education and Learning
Series editors: Dr Michael Thomas, Prof. James Paul Gee, Prof. John Palfrey
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan US
Much has been written during the first decade of the new millennium about
the potential of digital technologies to produce a transformation of
education. Digital technologies are portrayed as tools that will enhance
learner collaboration and motivation and develop new multimodal literacy
skills. Accompanying this has been the move from understanding literacy on
the cognitive level to an appreciation of the sociocultural forces shaping
learner development. Responding to these claims, the Digital Education and
Learning Series explores the pedagogical potential and realities of
digital technologies in a wide range of disciplinary contexts across the
educational spectrum both in and outside of class. Focusing on local and
global perspectives, the series responds to the shifting landscape of
education, the way digital technologies are being used in different
educational and cultural contexts, and examines the differences that lie
behind the generalizations of the digital age. Incorporating cutting edge
volumes with theoretical perspectives and case studies (single authored
and edited collections), the series provides an accessible and valuable
resource for academic researchers, teacher trainers, administrators and
students interested in interdisciplinary studies of education and new and
emerging technologies.
Forthcoming titles focus on digital media in schools, digital game-based
learning, virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the politics of
educational technology.
