Living in a multimodal world can be overwhelming. To prepare students to produce and consume the multimodal texts made possible through innovative technologies, Schmidt and Kruger-Ross advocate for a slower and more deliberate approach to thinking and planning for teaching literacies. They showcase how technologies can expand, enhance, and inspire the consuming and producing powers of secondary students by examining visual and aural literacies before multimodal literacies. They have embedded the voices and materials of practicing and preservice teachers, via QR codes. This book is both reflective and practical.
