Combining theory with practice, Frey, Fisher (both teacher education, San Diego State U.), and Gonzalez (Health Sciences High and Middle College, San Diego) examine the intersection of literacy and technology, the ways each is shaping and informing the other, and how today's secondary educators can incorporate this knowledge into their classroom teaching practices. The authors present a "gradual release of responsibility" model for moving students from extensive support to peer support to greater self-reliance in literacy learning, and then cover the functions of literacy 2.0, such as searching for information and using it responsibly, avoiding plagiarism, producing information, sharing information on local and global platforms, and current challenges in school policies and practices. Designed for all IT skills levels, from teachers with less IT knowledge to more experienced users, the text contains numerous sample activities, assignments, and collaborative projects using IT.
