    Tin's article considers the impact on language and literacy education of new cyber-genres such as email and Web pages, as well as on the curriculum genres generated by the interaction of schools with the Internet.

These new literacies bring with them new literacy practices, and raise important questions for teacher education and professional development. At stake is the future shape of the new literacies in the classroom and access for language and literacy education teachers and students to significant new forms of cultural capital.
