Reviews for Sage on the Screen: Education, Media, and How We Learn
The book is easy to read, with great illustrations and personal stories. The changes in hardware and software are also well explained and made friendly for non-experts... Helpful for producing more nuanced and complex arguments about how media and technology have contributed to schooling and learning.
