Review
Warlick steps into the future of technology and its impending effect on education in Redefining Literacy 2.0. Our future is unpredictable as technology advances exponentially, so the question is, how do we prepare our children? The author's opening chapter proposes a new direction for educators - to seek to integrate literacy rather than technology. Warlick defines new basic skills as the 3E's - expose what is true, employ the information, and express ideas compellingly. Subsequent chapters detail ways for students to effectively manipulate technology to achieve these skills. This little book is filled with straightforward and practical ideas that will inspire teachers, media specialists, technology directors, and principals to envision and utilize future technology with students. All the extras the author has provided, including key Web resources, appendices with further reading, action items that follow each chapter, as well as the Wiki Web page filled with additional resources, make this an indispensable tool that can and will be consulted over and over again. Highly Recommended. Theresa Metter, Media Specialist, Valley View High School, Germantown, Ohio --Library Media Connection
