This book discusses learning and teaching with modern technology in the new knowledge society.
It focuses specifically on new literacy and technology in classroom environments. Based on a
social-constructivist approach this book covers a wide range of new technology use examples
such as participatory media video recording systems and 3D computer graphics. A case study on
a constructivist approach to teaching and learning especially CSCL (computer supported
collaborative learning) is discussed from a practical perspective for educators. It also
includes specific in-class practices with detailed accounts of curricula featuring readily
accessible yet new technology available for classroom use such as Google Sketchup 3D computer
models.
