"This book investigates changes induced by information and communications technology in today's education system"--Provided by publisher.
This book explores contemporary children’s and young adult novels writing back to history and oppression. Divided into three distinct yet interconnected parts, this thematic study analyses selected novels from across the globe, drawing on current critical debates to investigate how these narratives raise vital questions about identity, power and language. Examinations of children’s and young adult novels from Britain, Ireland, Sweden, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand offer fresh readings of established texts, and provide important critical perspectives on lesser-known works. The book also examines the use of genre in children’s and young adult literature, including crime fiction, dystopia, coming-of-age, and historical fiction. Addressing vital social justice themes in contemporary children’s and young adult novels, such as human trafficking, postcolonialism, disaster, trauma, and gender and race inequality, the book presents a critically informed analysis of these compelling literary works and their engagement with social and cultural debates.
Information literacy is a complex subject that finally arrived at the doorstep of school libraries. For decades academic researchers have been trying to capture the essence of information literacy, its educational, cognitive and civic value. The collection of book chapters offered in We Can Teach That is a handbook that can be used as an inspiration for teaching various types of literacy: visual, digital, multicultural, health and more. The book asks important questions: When do we start teaching information literacy? How do we teach it? How does it affect our students at their education level? How does it prepare them for their post high school adult life? Does it impact their transition to...
Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.
«A cosa serve la musica, nella nostra vita di adulti, di giovani, di bambini? Per quali ragioni vogliamo che si insegni nelle scuole? Quale musica poi? Bach è uno dei valori indiscussi della nostra cultura, ma è lontano dagli interessi dei ragazzi; viceversa, la canzone è il loro pane quotidiano, ma sulla canzone si proiettano le ombre del condizionamento mercantile. E allora? Le domande si moltiplicano. Educarsi alla musica vuol dire imparare a scegliere, ascoltandola, o vuol dire farla, con la voce, con gli strumenti? Studiare musica implica che ci si confronti con tecniche e nozioni speciali: esercizi per le dita o per la laringe, solfeggi, armonizzazioni, classificazioni, cronistorie...

This book explores the significance of reggae and hip hop in Southern Italy from the beginning of the 1980s to the present. Focusing on groups and solo artists located predominantly in the Southern Italian regions of Apulia and Sardinia, it examines the production and distribution of their music, lyrics and video clips. To this end, Reggae and Hip Hop in Southern Italy emphasizes the linguistic aspects of cultural marginalization as well as marginalities linked to geographical location, gender, and to social and political identification. The authors put forward three key arguments, namely: that the Southern Italian transcultural and multilingual musical productions defy the cultural stereoty...
