Summary:

"Digital Online Culture, Identity and Schooling in the Twenty-First Century provides a cultural, ideological critique of identity construction in the context of virtualization. Kimberly Rosenfeld explores the growing number of people who no longer reside in one physical reality but live, play and work in multiple realities: artificial reality, augmented reality, simulated reality, and virtual reality. Engaging in hegemonic and counter-hegemonic battles through a critique of neoliberal practise in education, Rosenfeld draws conclusions for empowering the population through schooling, and how it should understand, respond to, and help individuals live out the information revolution"-- Provided by publisher.
