There is an immensely important conjunction between literacy and Information    and Communications Technology (ICT). This book considers the application of    ICT in raising and widening literacy achievements within the classroom, and    explores ways that ICT can be harnessed to help students develop their literacy    skills. Teaching Secondary School Literacies with ICT supports educators in this aim    by offering creative examples of good practice. It provides commentary and    research into what adolescent students are doing, both in formal education    and socially, with regard to ICT and literacy, including:    Computer mediated communication    Literacy implications of computer games and chatrooms    Parents and children using the internet at home, and the implicit literacy skills    involved    Several contributors provide useful insights into the debate around teenage    literacy cultures and literacy in schools. For example, in schools, word processing    and keyboard skills are valued; yet thumb-controlled technologies (games con-    soles, texting) are denigrated. This book argues that if we are to encourage pupils    to develop the literacy skills they need for the 21st century, we need a more    positive and creative response to these popular forms of literacy.    This inspiring book is key reading for trainee and practising teachers, literacy    advisers and policy makers.        Moira Monteith is an educational consultant. She was previously a principal    lecturer in ICT in Education at Sheffield Hallam University, and before that    a teacher.
