CFR: Currents in Electronic Literacy (ejournal 1/15) Fall 2006 / News and Announcements
Currents in Electronic Literacy is excited to announce that it will be moving in a new direction: reviews! The spring 2007 issue of Currents will focus on reviews. We believe a journal based on reviews can be of much greater relevance to the field than our past models, which consisted of a few long articles supplemented by short book reviews. However, in this new model we will conceive of "reviews" more broadly. In addition to reviewing books, we are soliciting reviews of software, websites, blogs, conferences, parallel academic programs, and pedagogical practices. We hope that the new version of Currents will point out emerging trends in the field of electronic literacy. Spring 2007 Call for Reviews: The upcoming issue will consider electronically mediated social networking from two angles. On the one hand, how might such varied tools as podcasts, blogs, and even Facebook effectively communicate information both inside and beyond the classroom? On the other hand, how can these and other social networking tools help create an environment that encourages students to participate more actively in the process of knowledge creation? For example, how might using wikis in the classroom help develop students' sense of ownership over their work? Possible items for review within the theme of social networking: Software and Webtools such as: * * * * * * * * * * * * *
