The Common Core State Standards not only changed how reading and literacy is taught, but also added digital literacy skills students should possess as they ready themselves for career and college. With computers now ubiquitous, knowing and mastering the skills necessary to evaluate multimedia content is therefore essential.
This book reviews digital literacy skills and presents the same information twice. First, the written text is discussed by the expert reader. Then, a multimedia clip of the same text is explored and reviewed by the expert reader. The reader is thus provided with several opportunities to compare and contrast two pieces of reading in different format: written, and multimedia. Images, videos, and maps are explored. The material is well presented and the skills taught are easily implementable.
