As poor, nonwhite communities on the other side of the digital divide become immersed in electronic media, how can we evaluate their experiences to transform the teaching of writing and literature and improve student learning? This important book offers a balanced view of instructional technology and critical multiculturalism as experienced in todays public schools. With valuable insights to help English educators at all levels working in all types of schools, this accessible volume features: Case studies of highpoverty secondary schools as they come online, offering an examination of the literacy practices of some of the countrys most underserved students on Indian reservations and in central cities. A unique approach to teaching writing and literature at both high school and middle school levels, including practical suggestions for classroom practice. A compelling analysis and critique of the contrasting rhetoric of American adolescent minority groups, differences in their early language socialization, and the impact of those differences on academic performance. A fresh angle on the public policy debate on access to technology, arguing that highpoverty schools do not have student access and, when they do, computers are used to reform, rather than transform schooling.
