- Summary:
- 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 today's public schools. With valuable insights to help English educators at all levels working in all types of schools
