Hi Mark. I can recommend "Teaching With the Internet K-12: New Literacies for New Times" 4th Edition. by Leu, Leu & Corio (2004) You can visit the companion website, which provides a full table of contents as well as an overview of each chapter as well as content. http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~djleu/fourth.html Laurie A.

Laura Gurak's book Cyberliteracy might fit the bill.

Mark, I'm wondering if you mean the use of technology to study literacies, technology-supported literate activities, or techno-literacies such as information literacy? Ilana Snyder has edited two collections that might be useful for a general "technology and literacy" course that hits each of these approaches: _Page to Screen; Taking Literacy into the Electronic Age_ (1997) and _Silicon Literacies; Communication, Innovation and Education in the Electronic Age_ (2002) Gunther Kress's _Literacy in the New Media Age_ (2002) would be appropriate for an advanced undergraduate course; he takes issue with applying the "literacy" label to processes other than reading and writing alphabetic texts, which is a key question for technology/literacy studies. For an accessible text that focuses primarily on gaming (and that can be used in a variety of interesting ways), there's Jim Gee's _What Videogames Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy_ (2004). Finally, Gail Hawisher and Cindy Selfe's _Literate Lives in the Information Age: Narratives on Literacy from the United States_ (2004). The above list of texts comes mostly from the fields of literacy studies and computers and writing.

Thanks-- Mark
Doug and others--thanks for your replies. I am planning on using Gee's videogames book (cited by Doug below) and also my own book, Laptops and Literacy (coming out from Teachers College Press by the end of summer 2006, which covers use of computers in K-12 settings). I want a third book that provides an overview of the relationship between technology and literacy, probably something similar to Ilana Snyder's edited books but if possible more up to date. Thanks again-- mark

Mark, Not a book, but an article I have found very useful is Sonia Livingstone's (2004) article ‘Media Literacy and The Challenge of New Information and Communication Technologies’, The Communication Review, 7: 3-14. http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/pdf/SLstaff_page/SL_94.pdf Best Jean http://hypertext.rmit.edu.au/~burgess Reviews editor, International Journal of Cultural Studies http://www.sagepub.com/journal.aspx?pid=196 ISSN: 1367-8779 Creative Industries Research Centre Queensland University of Technology Victoria Park Road, Kelvin Grove, QLD 4059 Australia On 21/04/2006, at 11:03 PM, Mark Warschauer wrote:

Hello everyone, My name is Anna Rogozinska and I'm a PhD student at the Institute of Polish Culture at Warsaw University (Poland). I wrote my MA thesis on internet fan communities (focusing on slash Harry Potter fandom and its many practices, primarily fan fiction) and am thinking of writing my dissertation on internet communities through the lens of social bond theories (and their application/evolution when applied to different internet environments). The topic is still changing, though. Mark, someone has probably mentioned that already, but have you tried Greg Ulmer's "Internet Invention", Kathleen Tyner's "Literacy in the Digital World" and Laura Gurak's "Cyberliteracy"? They proved valuable when I was writing an article on the discussion around Walter Ong's concepts in the context of internet. Take care, Anna

Mark, I had the same question about the specific focus, but I second Doug's suggestions for a general "technology and literacy" course. In a similar course here at UIUC, undergraduate students wrote articles based on their projects. Some of these eventually appeared as guest entries for a column I edited for the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. The collection is available in book form, and (mostly) online <http://ilabs.inquiry.uiuc.edu/ilab/lia/>. _Literacy in the Information Age: Inquiries Into Meaning Making With New Technologies_ (2003) Bertram (Chip) Bruce Professor, Library & Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., MC 493 Champaign, IL 61820 http://www.uiuc.edu/~chip 217-244-3576 On Apr 21, 2006, at 12:13 AM, Douglas Eyman wrote:
