Today’s teaching environment is one of constantly shifting technologies–some distracting, some truly helpful, all requiring significant investments in time and money. Teaching with Multimedia Volume 2 continues with a further collection of 12 essays that bring curiosity, skepticism, experience and imagination into the pedagogy/technology debate in a way that guides and inspires. This volume focuses on examining what benefits and pitfalls new digital technologies offer the 21st century learning and professional practice environments; incorporating digital and web technology and tools into the way we teach; and outlining the challenges these new media present in terms of emerging digital media issues, new remix forms, and the impact of technology on creativity, production, and learning.

The book brings together teachers who are currently pioneering new ways to teach in the midst of the multimedia frontier. They are intimately aware that the rate of change in the digital universe in always several steps faster than we would like–but it is the universe in which we live, teach, and learn.
