Recent work on children's digital cultures has identified a range of literacies emerging through children's engagement with new media technologies. This edited collection focuses on children's digital cultures, specifically examining the role of play and creativity in learning with these new technologies. The chapters in this book were contributed by an international range of respected researchers, who seek to extend our understandings of children's interactions with new media, both within and outside of school. They address and provide evidence for continuing debates around the following questions: What notions of creativity are useful in our fields? How does an understanding of play inform analysis of children's engagement with digital cultures? How might school practice take account of out-of-school learning in relation to digital cultures? How can we understand children's engagements with digital technologies in commercialized spaces? Offering current research, theoretical debate and empirical studies, this intriguing text will challenge the thinking of scholars and teachers alike as it explores the evolving nature of play within the media landscape of the twenty-first century.

A photographic study of“the frightening potential [of Asian longhorned beetles] to eat their way through North American forests . . . a call to action.”—School Library Journal (starred review) The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) has made news across the United States. These beetles came to America from China, living in wood turned into shipping material. At first the beetles invaded urban areas, where hardwood trees were in limited supply. Chicago was able to declare itself ALB-free in 2006. But right now, there is bad news in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Toronto. Infestations have erupted in the areas’ hardwood forests, and these beetles, while bad at flying, are very good at killing trees. Clint McFarland’s job? Stop the ALB at any cost. How do you balance the needs of residents, the impact to the environment, and an invasive species primed to wipe out entire forests? It takes the help of everyday people, such as children playing baseball at a playground, teams of beetle-sniffing dogs, and science-minded people (bug scientists and tree doctors) to eradicate this invasive pest. “A splendid example of science controversy in everyday life.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “This fascinating, timely book might just change the way readers look at insects and trees for good.”—Booklist (starred review) “A fascinating look at the origins of an invasive species and efforts to combat the damage it causes.”—Publishers Weekly “The subject and the youth of many of the participants give this title an immediacy unusual even in this excellent series, bridging the gap between scientist and reader in a way that invites kids into the process.”—Bulletin
