Dialogue in Places of Learning: Youth Amplified in South Africa (Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education)
by Adam CooperShowing how youth from one of the poorest and most violent neighborhoods in Cape Town, South Africa, learn differently in three educational contexts— in classrooms, in a community hip hop crew, on a youth radio show—this book illuminates how South African schools, like schools elsewhere, subtly reproduce inequalities by sorting students into social hierarchies linked to assessments of their use of language. Highlighting the voices and perspectives of young South Africans, this case study of youth in the global South explores how language is linked to cultural mixing which occurred during colonialism and slavery and continues through patterns of global mobility. Dialogue in Places of Learning: Youth Amplified in South Africa demonstrates how language and learning are bound to space and place.
Dialoguing across Cultures, Identities, and Learning: Crosscurrents and Complexities in Literacy Classrooms (Language, Culture, and Teaching Series)
by Bob Fecho Jennifer CliftonDrawing on Dialogical Self Theory, this book presents a new framework for social and cultural identity construction in the literacy classroom, offering possibilities for how teachers might adjust their pedagogy to better support the range of cultural stances present in all classrooms. In the complex multicultural/multiethnic/multilingual contexts of learning in and out of school spaces today, students and teachers are constantly dialoguing across cultures, both internally and externally, and these cultures are in dialogue with each other. The authors unpack some of the complexity of culture and identity, what people do with culture and identity, and how people navigate multiple cultures and identities. Readers are invited to re-examine how they view different cultures and the roles these play in their lives, and to dialogue with the authors about cultures, learning, literacy, identity, and agency.

Die Lese- und Rechtschreibstörung wirksam bekämpfen: Effiziente Lernmethoden für Eltern, Lehrer und Interessierte (essentials)
by Rita M. BrehmRita Brehm stellt neue Methoden zur Stabilisierung der Sprechwahrnehmung von Schülern vor – wie das „Handlautieren“ oder das „Silbenkonstruieren“ – und erläutert, wie das Silbentrennen, Abschreiben, Diktieren oder Lesen methodisch effizienter zu gestalten ist. Sie zeigt, dass im Zeitalter der Inklusion phonetisch-phonologische Methoden aus der Sprachtherapie zunehmend Eingang in die schulische Förderung gefunden haben. Zur wirksamen Bekämpfung von Lese- und Rechtschreibstörungen benötigt man effiziente Lernmethoden auf der Grundlage wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse. Ziel dabei ist, über die Festigung der phonologischen Bewusstheit mit dem eigenen Sprechen gleichermaßen das Lesen und Schreiben anzubahnen und zu festigen. Darüber hinaus erklärt die Autorin, wie das Abschreiben effektiver wird, warum Kurzdiktate unverzichtbar sind und wie Schüler zum beständigen Lesen motiviert werden können.

The Digital Humanities and the Digital Modern
by James SmithiesThis book provides new critical and methodological approaches to digital humanities, intended to guide technical development as well as critical analysis. Informed by the history of technology and culture and new perspectives on modernity, Smithies grounds his claims in the engineered nature of computing devices and their complex entanglement with our communities, our scholarly traditions, and our sense of self. The distorting mentalit#65533; of the digital modern informs our attitudes to computers and computationally intensive research, leading scholars to reject articulations of meaning that admit the interdependence of humans and the complex socio-technological systems we are embedded in. By framing digital humanities with the digital modern, researchers can rebuild our relationship to technical development, and seek perspectives that unite practical and critical activity. This requires close attention to the cyber-infrastructures that inform our research, the software-intensive methods that are producing new knowledge, and the ethical issues implicit in the production of digital humanities tools and methods. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in the intersection of technology with humanities research, and the future of digital humanities.
Digital Media, Culture and Education
by John Potter Julian McdougallThis book provides a critical commentary on key issues around learning in the digital age in both formal and informal educational settings. The book presents research and thinking about new dynamic literacies, porous expertise, digital making/coding/remixing, curation, storying in digital media, open learning, the networked educator and a number of related topics; it further addresses and develops the notion of a 'third space literacies' in contexts for learning. The book takes as its starting point the idea that an emphasis on technology and media, as part of material culture and lived experience, is much needed in the discussion of education, along with a criticality which is too often absent in the discourse around technology and learning. It constructs a narrative thread and a critical synthesis from a sociocultural account of the memes and stereotypical positions around learning, media and technology in the digital age, and will be of great interest to academics interested in the mechanics of learning and the effects of technology on the education experience. It closes with a conversation as a reflexive 'afterword' featuring discussion of the key issues with, amongst others, Neil Selwyn and Cathy Burnett.

Digital Storytelling in Higher Education
by Grete Jamissen Pip Hardy Yngve Nordkvelle Heather PleasantsThis book broadens the scope and impact of digital storytelling in higher education. It outlines how to teach, research and build communities in tertiary institutions through the particular form of audio-visual communication known as digital storytelling by developing relationships across professions, workplaces and civil society.

Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education: Pedagogical cases
by Ashley Casey, Victoria A. Goodyear and Kathleen M. ArmourThere is evidence of considerable growth in the availability and use of digital technologies in physical education. Yet, we have scant knowledge about how technologies are being used by teachers, and whether or how these technologies are optimising student learning. This book makes a novel contribution by focusing on the ways in which teachers and teacher educators are attempting to use digital technologies in PE. The book has been created using the innovative ‘pedagogical cases’ framework. Each case centres on a narrative, written by a PE practitioner, explaining how and why technology is used in their practice to advance and accelerate learning. Each practitioner narrative is then analysed by a team of experts from different disciplines. The aim is to offer a multi-dimensional understanding of the possibilities and challenges of supporting young people’s learning with digital technologies. Each case concludes with a practitioner reflection to illustrate the links between theory, research and practice. Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education encourages critical reflection on the use of technologies in PE. It is an essential resource for students on physical education, kinesiology or sport science courses, practitioners working in PE or youth sport, and researchers interested in digital technologies and education.
