| Summary |
"How do we help students make sense of our increasingly-complex digital world? The 3rd edition of this classic text shows teachers how to empower students with the skills they need to ask critical and reflective questions about the overwhelming amount of information around them. It shows teachers how to challenge students to assume a deeper ownership of their learning, ask questions that are important to them, and care about the answers."-- Provided by publisher |
