Literacy & Identity
Leading Double Lives: Literacy and Technology in and out of School

Bronwyn T. Williams

The author acknowledges that there is often a gap in how and for what ends technology is used—a gap between some students and their teachers and a gap among different groups of students. What is less obvious is the nature of these gaps in terms of literacy practices. He then asks, “Could we be missing ways to connect with our students and help reinforce and enlarge their literate identities?”
