Explores the influences of the new electronic technologies on literacy practices. The text includes analysis of: the potential of the new forms of text; the increased emphasis on visual communication; new forms of rhetoric; and learning in the age of global communication networks.
Hypertext, email, word processing: electronic technologies have revolutionised textual practices. How does language on screen work differently from language on the page? What new literacy skills are needed and how do we teach them? Page To Screen collects some of the best contemporary thinkers in the field of literacy and technology. They analyse the potential of the new forms of text, the increased emphasis on visual representation, new forms of rhetoric, learning in the age of global communication networks and new approaches to story telling. Page To Screen is compelling reading for anyone interested in Literacy Education, English, Library Studies, Multimedia and Communication Studies.
