This book furthers the goal of developing a conceptual framework to integrate evolving digital technologies into literacy instruction. The allure and marketplace power of digital technologies continues to hold sway over the field of education, with billions spent annually on technology in the United States alone. Literacy instruction at all levels, from early childhood to advanced degrees in higher education is influenced by these evolving and ever-changing tools. While this opens the door to innovations in literacy curricula, it also adds a pedagogical responsibility to operate within a well-developed conceptual framework to ensure instruction is complemented or augmented by technology and not secondary to it.
This text will be a resource for students, teachers, researchers, and stake holders in the field of education. The goal of this text is to develop a conceptual framework for integrating the ever-changing digital technologies into responsible, carefully crafted literacy instruction. Technologies such as Virtual Reality, 3D printing, and iPad games are appealing to students and teachers alike. Digital technologies promote project-based learning and facilitate engagement in the curriculum. However, previous studies of technology integration have shown that it is most effective when integrated into an existing curricular purpose and utilized within a strong conceptual framework of combined academic and technological goals. With the changing nature of technology, the conceptual framework and goals must also be continuously updated and examined. The research and case studies contained within this text will provide an opportunity for scholars, teachers, and stake holders in education to examine their literacy instruction practices with current digital technologies.
Our primary objective for this book is to develop a conceptual framework for the continued integration of digital technologies into literacy instruction at all levels of education. This book examines thoughtful, responsible pedagogical practices in relation to the ever-changing nature of literacy instruction in a digital age.
The target audience is readers who are interested in literacy/language skill development and digital technology. Teachers will use this book to discover and reflect upon new or innovative pedagogical techniques. University faculty will be able to use this book to demonstrate possible teaching techniques or to facilitate critical thinking about reflective practice. Researchers will utilize this book to gain insights into methodology by which the digital technologies may be reviewed or evaluated.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 15, 2018, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be notified by January 14, 2019 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 14, 2019, and all interested authors must consult the guidelines for manuscript submissions at http://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/before-you-write/ prior to submission. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
Note: There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to this book publication, Handbook of Research on Integrating Digital Technology with Literacy Pedagogies. All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process.
All proposals should be submitted through the eEditorial Discovery online submission manager.
This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints.
