To embrace todays culturally and linguistically diverse secondary ELA classrooms, this text presents ways in which teachers can use digital tools in the service of antiracist teaching and developing equity-oriented mindsets in teaching and learning.
Addressing how the use of digital tools and literacy practices can be woven into current English Language Arts (ELA) curricula, and with consistent sections, each chapter covers a different aspect of digital tool use, including multimodal texts, critical media literacies, connection-building, and digital composing. Understanding that no classroom is a monolith, Barnes and Marlatts timely text presents practical applications and resources suitable for different environments, including urban and rural contexts.
The volume is essential reading in courses on ELA/literacy methods and multicultural education.
