This book considers the application ofICT in raising and widening literacy achievements within the classroom, andexplores ways that ICT can be harnessed to help students develop their literacyskills. Teaching Secondary School Literacies with ICT supports educators in this aimby offering creative examples of good practice. It provides commentary andresearch into what adolescent students are doing, both in formal educationand 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 skillsinvolved  Several contributors provide useful insights into the debate around teenageliteracy cultures and literacy in schools. For example, in schools, word processingand keyboard skills are valued; yet thumb-controlled technologies (games con-soles, texting) are denigrated. This book argues that if we are to encourage pupilsto develop the literacy skills they need for the 21st century, we need a morepositive and creative response to these popular forms of literacy.This inspiring book is key reading for trainee and practising teachers, literacyadvisers and policy makers.Moira Monteith is an educational consultant.

This important new text seeks to support school teachers in developing children's literacy skills through the use of information and communication technology. The editor and contributors indicate where we are at present and where we may be going in terms of learning literacy using ICT, basing their findings on research evidence and their own extensive experience in education. Specific chapters deal with literacy learning in schools; national literacy strategies as exemplified within the National Literacy Programme; the effectiveness of software; connections with oracy; and the use of the internet. Whilst the contributors note that ICT has much to offer in terms of providing valuable support to learners, they also stress that the context where this learning takes place is vitally important and that technology alone can never take the place of good classroom practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49621069168913,"sku":"GOR001546891","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50113136722193,"sku":"GOR002331596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335212468.jpg?v=1751071540"},{"product_id":"it-for-learning-enhancement-book-moira-monteith-9781841500362","title":"IT for Learning Enhancement","description":"This text presents a collection of research-based findings to help make teaching through IT more effective.

Which factors lead to learning outcomes and are these intended or fortuitous? Factors may include ones specific to particular subject areas and their relationship with ICT, motivation associated with ICT usage, the interest which teachers, pupils and students who enjoy using ICT bring to the learning context. Recent developments in the use of ICT, particularly in an educational context where us of ICT has become one of the learning strategies in the portfolio of options teachers possess, have meant that the pedagogic usage has become more important generally. The focus of this book is on the curricular use of ICT and so course evaluation and design are the main contents of each chapter. In this sense the curriculum becomes the cognitive site of learning. Most other books look at specific pedagogic uses rather than the debate between subject and skill learning. Also, a government research paper indicates that thinking skills may well become the new focus for the next phase of development.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50957186728209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50957187875089,"sku":"GOR008625888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52408197579025,"sku":"NLS9781841500614","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0082ORR9S.jpg?v=1750865831"},{"product_id":"it-for-learning-enhancement-book-moira-monteith-9781871516623","title":"IT for Learning Enhancement","description":"Designed to show professionals how to use information technology (IT) to promote better learning by presenting the essential balance between research and practice, this text includes a number of case studies written by some of the leading practitioners in the field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52409924092177,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52409924550929,"sku":"NLS9781871516623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781871516623.jpg?v=1758776264"},{"product_id":"computers-and-language-book-moira-monteith-9781871516272","title":"Computers and Language","description":"This book helps readers to develop their own reassessments and promote some serenity rather than dismay in response to change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52669047046417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52669047931153,"sku":"NLS9781871516272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781871516272.jpg?v=1762286515"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-moira-monteith.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
