Synopsis

Written by a well-known expert in the field, this text shows teachers how to use computers, software, and the Internet to help students develop linguistic and visual communication skills. It examines how technology is redefining what it means to be literate, and helps in-service and pre-service teachers learn how to prepare their students to be critical thinkers and consumers of electronic messages.
