Mobile technologies can facilitate different kinds of learning, in a range of contexts. They can also enable innovative and powerful ways of participating in collaborative learning. This book examines the ways in which mobile technologies may contribute to, change, or disrupt literacy learning in children up to the age of twelve. Also explored is the impact mobile technologies may have on literacy definitions and practices; learning environments; student, parent and teacher roles and interactions; power relations in education; and social and material interactions. Contributing authors include eminent researchers and innovative practitioners from around the world, who share their insights on the possible roles of mobile technologies in literacy practices and education. This book explores how educators might harness mobile technologies to equip literacy learners for the 21st century, as well as considering how mobile technologies may help to enhance access to quality literacy education for children in developing countries.

    Early education researchers contribute to the theory and practice of using mobile technologies for learning and teaching literacy, focusing on children up to the age of 12. Their topics include young children's imaginative play and dynamic literacy practices in the digital age, digital storytelling as pedagogy to develop literacy and 21st-century competencies in a Singapore primary school: teachers as designers, mobile devices and multimodal textual practices, mobilizing critical literacies: text production in children's hands, and supporting children's literacy learning in counties with low and middle incomes through mobile learning.
