Reviews

Bridging Technology and Literacy blends a focus on teaching and learning with a rich collection of instructional practices for integrating technology. The clear descriptions and a wealth of practical activities and examples put directly into the hands of readers will help to ease the transition into the digital literacy skills so important in today's classrooms. The authors' experiences with both classroom activities and conducting research in the field work together to help teachers visualize and understand the integral connection between reading and writing, whether with print or digital texts. I especially appreciate the attention these authors have given to describing the constraints in the classroom that might put up speed bumps to technology integration. Let's talk about these issues and work through them together, rather than assuming everything will always run smoothly, or the opposite, that nothing will work correctly. Bridging Technology and Literacy arms teachers with the tips of the trade that will support their technology integration. -- Elizabeth Dobler, professor, Elementary Education, Early Childhood, and Special Education, Emporia State University
