Currently in a state of cultural transition, global society is moving from a literary society to digital one, adopting widespread use of advanced technologies such as the internet and mobile devices. Digital media has an extraordinary impact on society’s formative processes, forcing a pragmatic shift in their management and organization. The book strives to define a conceptual framework for understanding social changes produced by digital media and creates a framework within which digital literacy acts as a tool to assist younger generations to interact critically with digital media and their culture, providing scholars, educators, researchers, and practitioners a technological and sociological approach to this cutting-edge topic from an educational perspective.
Nell’attuale transizione culturale la società globale si sta spostando da un modello letterario a uno digitale, facendo un uso massiccio di tecnologie innovative come internet e i dispositivi mobili. I media digitali hanno un impatto straordinario sui processi formativi di questo tipo di società e stanno producendo modifiche sostanziali nella loro gestione e organizzazione. Il libro si propone di definire una cornice concettuale per comprendere i cambiamenti sociali prodotti dai media digitali e tenta di fornire un quadro entro cui la digital literacy possa funzionare come dispositivo di supporto alle giovani generazioni per interagire criticamente con i media digitali e la loro cultura garantendo a studiosi, educatori, ricercatori e operatori un approccio socio-tecnologico a questo tema di punta secondo la prospettiva dell’educazione.
