Exploring Critical Digital Literacy Practices

"This book provides a powerful and moving documentation of the struggles and importance of purposeful pedagogy and curriculum in one school over the long term, and an affirmation of the work of students, teachers and the school community. It offers a model of respectful collaboration between teachers, students, and researchers that acknowledges the agency of all involved, affirms the importance of resistance and action, while realistically acknowledging its complexity. This bookwill be warmly welcomed by teachers, teacher educators, school communities, and researchers, in its concern with new media, new literacies, contemporary schooling and social justice."
