Hereisahopefulbookaboutdynamicliteraciesineducationthatbringstolifethe livedexperienceandcreativityofyoungpeople andmakesvisible theirmeaning- makingpractices.Itsurfacesideasinwaysthataretheoreticallyandmethodologi- cally groundbreaking. This is a refreshing, hopeful, and above all, challenging book that enables, develops, and supports new thinking in media education together with literacy studies. By situating itself within cultural studies the work is re-vitalized. The book gathers together scholarship in the fields of cultural studies, digital literacies, multimodality, and new media but locates this within practice, so that the ideas come alive for educators. Acceptably written, this is a welcome addition to the field, which speaks to the cultural context of civic engagement for young people in and out of school, or ‘not-school’. Now, more than ever these voices are needed as resistance isa keypart ofsurvival for young peoplewhosemodesofparticipationneedtobestrengthenedandsupportedina challengingworld.Dynamicliteraciesarethewayforward–andthisbookarticu- latesandmapsoutapathwaythroughtoaction. —KatePahl,ProfessorofLiteraciesinEducation,UniversityofSheffield,UK. This book is for all those who realize we face new and complex problems in education today; that staying in our academic silos and engaging in business as usual will no longer do; and that digital technology can free teachers to be designers,curators,andaggregators,bringingastonishingresourcestolearnersof allagesandinallplaces.Itisamagnificentpieceofworkandabreathoffreshair. —JamesPaulGee,MaryLouFultonPresidentialProfessorofLiteracyStudies, Regents’Professor,ArizonaStateUniversity,USA.
