Description: This book provides a deeper understanding of the phone-based composing practices of youth and their implications for literacy learning.
Review Quotes: "There is so much more to mobile phones than calling friends and family. Mobile phones are portals to diverse, engaging, and creative practices. Julie Warner invites us into this rich world of phoned-centered literacy practices with respect and wonder for the young people who enact them. Sometimes playful, sometimes affect-laden, sometimes intellectual, the literacy practices that young people apply in their use and enjoyment of cell phones prominently display their everyday multimodal and discursive competencies. Taking a landscape view of mobile phone knowledge work, Adolescents' New Literacies with and through Mobile Phones examines mobile phones across spaces; social mediation of phone content and images; chronotopic explorations; and digital curation as telling examples of younger generations' often invisible repertoires of practice and ways of knowing."
