Overview

\"Technology and Civic Engagement in the College Classroom is an empirically and theoretically driven contribution to an emerging field of study in Political Science. This edited volume provides both theoretical and pedagogical justifications for the use of certain technologies and strategies to increase civic engagement, as well as empirical results. There are different strategies, both technological and traditional, that can foster civic engagement. The book focuses on both in-class and online ways Political Science instructors have developed and tested strategies to engage an increasingly disengaged college student population. Elevating levels of civic engagement is not something that can solely be done with technology, but rather is about a more hybrid pedagogical approach that includes an open classroom environment and class discussion, as well as new technological inclusions that tap into what helps motivate twenty-first century students to connect\"-- Provided by publisher.
