Summary

The University of Google looks at the impact of Google on education. Googling signals simple and intuitive surfing, rather than planned researching and quick answers to difficult questions. Tara Brabazaon argues that the costs and consequences of students entering this digital shopping mall for research, scholarship and interpretation require attention.She investigates the struggles, problems and responsibilities of learning, teaching and working in the contemporary education system, offering productive, concrete and positive alternatives and solutions to the difficulties punctuating classrooms and curricula.Rooted in the experience of teaching and engaging with issues and evidence that resonate internationally, the volume aims to find a way to revalue reading, writing and thinking to demonstrate not only social, but economic and political benefits. This book brings researching back to searching.

Author Biography

Tara Brabazon is Professor of Media at the University of Brighton, UK, and Director of the Popular Culture Collective.
