I particularly like the way the reader is guided to consider and try out different aspects of digital literacy. The book is easy to follow and clearly signposted. - Sandra Eady, University of StirlingIt is a clear and comprehensive exploration of a rapidly changing area of education, valuable both for trainees and those of us who work with them. The authors' expertise comes through very strongly; it is packed with useful material. The case studies are a helpful feature. - Katharine Allott, York St. John UniversityThis is a thoughtful and up-to-date text that explores digital literacy across subjects. It will be useful for a range of subjects to refer to. - Karin Boyle, Manchester Metropolitan University
