Technologies for Composition Teachers

ISBN 1-57273-780-8 (hard) > $85.00 ; 1-57273-781-6 (paper) > $ 35 /
February 2009 / New Dimensions in Computers and Composition series
Going Wireless is the first edited collection on wireless and mobile
technologies in the field of rhetoric and composition. The
contributors offer rhetoric and composition teachers, scholars, and
administrators a range of practical and theoretical insights on
wireless and mobile technologies. This collection serves as a resource
for theoretical explorations on wireless and mobile technology use as
it relates to computer and composition teaching and research and acts
as a reference for those in the rhetoric and composition community
charged with the responsibilities of integrating, supervising, and
evaluating wireless and mobile technologies.
Going Wireless is organized into five major sections and an appendix
of key mobile and wireless technology terms. In each section, authors
represent a range of perspectives as they articulate the roles of
students, teachers, administrators, and researchers working with and
through mobile and wireless devices. The book provides readers with
ways to understand the influence of wireless and mobile technologies
by critiquing the corporate and IT perspectives that inform mobile and
wireless development and integration and seeking out new tropes for
learning, teaching, and researching.
Drawing on interviews and surveys, rhetorical analyses, and
theoretical explorations of wireless and mobile devices, the authors
enact a range of methodologies to make claims for reflective
approaches to research and teaching with wireless and mobile devices.
The contributors share their perspectives on the impact of these
technological shifts and situate their experiences in relationship to
rhetoric and composition as a field. Authors in this collection argue
for complex articulations of histories, deployments, integrations, and
social factors affected by and affecting mobile and wireless
technologies.
