Abstract
Chapter 10 Engages “Digital Technologies, Multi-Literacies, and Democracy: Toward a Reconstruction of Education,” which explores how technology can be used for a democratic reconstruction of education and society in the spirit of John Dewey, Paulo Freire, and Herbert Marcuse. I argue that educators, students, and citizens need to cultivate multiple critical media and digital literacies for contemporary technological and multicultural societies. To meet the challenges of a digital era, teachers, students, and citizens need to develop critical media and digital literacies of diverse sorts, including a more fundamental importance for print literacy, to meet the challenge of restructuring education for a high-tech, multicultural society, and global culture. In a period of dramatic technological and social change, education needs to help produce a variety of types of literacies to make current pedagogy relevant to the demands of the contemporary era.
