Summary:

"A rising star in the Digital Media and Learning realm and a gifted storyteller, Antero Garcia combines an embedded perspective as a classroom teacher facing the challenges and opportunities of bringing mobile media into the public schools with a theoretically sophisticated grasp of contemporary pedagogical theories (Connect Learning, the New London Group, games-based education, and Paulo Freire, among others). This book could not be more timely or more urgent as schools confront a growing disconnect between their normal practices and the ways youth are processing the world around them.", "As technology sweeps into classrooms, adults commonly regard it either as a magic bullet to deepen Student engagement or as a hard-to-handle and persistent distraction to be put away. Instead, Antero Garcia, a Gifted teacher, presents in Good Reception, a nuanced, alternative, and illuminating Perspective, based on listening to the students themselves about their relationship with technology."
