Book News Annotation:We can expand the traditional "Three Rs" and build role models for
literacy in all classrooms, even in those that are shifting in
content and intent on a daily basis, claims consultant Warlick. He
describes the opposing forces at work inside and outside the typical
public school classroom and exposes the underpinnings of such
powerful contenders for students' and teachers' attention as
computers and media. He argues for appropriate multimedia electronic
resources, methods students can use to solve challenges in
constructing information, and techniques of building competency
through technology. He presents a day in the life of a 2015 school
following his design, showing how students can express ideas
compellingly, understand and use complex information, and understand
contexts. He also guides educators through planning, implementation
and assessment of his system.
