Healy, A. (2006). Multiliteracies: teachers and students at work in new ways with literacy. In R. Campbell & D. Green (Eds.), //Literacies and learners: Current perspectives// (3rd ed., pp. 191-207). Frenchs Forest, NSW: Pearson Education Australia.

Healy’s chapter looks at the changes to literacy practices as a consequence of different media and technologies but also reiterates the importance that print remains an essential medium for learning. Healy suggests that today students come to school with less experience of conventional print and more experience of multimedia digital texts.

The chapter recognises the multiliteracies pedagogical approach and the advantages of bridging between students’ home, school, social and cultural experiences. Healy takes the position that all literacy acts are socially and culturally centred and should reflect community text practices. / /
