Abstract:
Although the field of informal learning has much to contribute to the field of formal learning, these fields appear to be failing to synergize and balance to create the ideal education environment. This book explores the nature of various learning enlightenment mediums and their consequences within a classroom context to synchronize understanding within the schooling fields. This authoritative collection provides an overview of current research, practices, and evidence-based approaches regarding further development for best practices of multiple literacy teaching atmospheres.
