    Call for Articles & Reviews: Volume 2 Number 2

    The Journal of Literacy and Technology,
    <http://www.literacyandtechnology.org/> is currently seeking articles and
    reviews for its next issue (Summer 2002). The goal of JLT is to provide a
    forum for critical investigation of the complex relationship between
    literacy and technology with an intended audience of teachers at all
    levels. Texts may address this goal from scholarly, theoretical,
    historical, personal and/or institutional perspectives. The deadline for
    consideration for the next issue is May 1, 2002. Texts received after that
    date will be considered for future issues.

    Articles

    JLT considers original research, teaching/personal narratives, and feature
    articles. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

    Historical/Historicizing Studies
    Workplace Literacy
    School Programs
    Funding Issues
    The Politics of Literacy & Technology
    Hypertext Theory
    Literature Reviews
    Theoretical/Philosophical Perspectives
    Personal Narratives
    Teaching in Electronic Environments
    Distance Learning
    Media Studies

    All articles should focus overtly on the relationship between literacy and
    technology. See the Web site for previously accepted articles.

    Reviews

    Reviews and review articles are being sought on texts examining in
    particular the relationships technology and discourse create in the
    educational process. Thus, reviews are to explore works on
    computer-mediated interactions in relation to questions of identity,
    access, gender, and discourse. Book reviews are normally 500+ words while
    critical review articles need to incorporate a critique of at least three
    books in a more detailed analysis.
