Poetics and Technology 2022 : Call for Chapters: Using Poetics and Technology to Inform Pre-Service Educators’ Transformative Pedagogy

Introduction
Critical literacy helps students "read" their world with a critical eye recognizing that all media is socially constructed to deliver certain messages. Thus it encourages students to use their analytical and skills-based competencies to actively participate in democratic, participatory culture. One set of such skills is related to technology. Students are expected to become effective changing agents who are capable of critically examining various media with an ability to question aspects of power, inequity, and injustice and use technology as an empowering tool to transform the world.

Objective
This book examines various aspects of using critical literacy and culturally relevant pedagogy to help teachers integrate technology and critical literacy into instructions informed by the latest theories and good technology-mediated social practices.
