This is exciting volume brings together forward-thinking literacy scholars and educators to think about the impact of digital technologies on the changing nature of literacy and adolescence. The writing is engaging and maintains a steady focus in both conceptual frameworks and innovative teaching approaches. This is compulsory reading for educators who wish to move beyond the old literacy and technology debates and engage instead with new ideas such as shape-shifting practices, attention economy, millennials, digital detente, cross-generational literacies, and zines. It is an important sociocultural perspective on working with adolescents in the new millennium.
