By providing a sound theoretical framework and addressing popular culture and new technologies in the context of literacy teacher education, this book marks a significant step forward in literacy teaching and learning. It takes a cross-disciplinary approach, and brings together contributions from some of the world's leading figures in the field. Topics addressed include:· children's popular culture in the home· informal literacies and pedagogic discourse· new technologies and popular culture in children's everyday lives· teachers working with popular culture in the classroomThis book illustrates the way in which literacy is evolving through popular culture and new technology, and will be an influential read for teachers, students, researchers and policy-makers.
