Developing Multiple Literacies in a Website Project
Spence, Lucy K.
Reading Teacher, v62 n7 p592-597 Apr 2009
Jacky, an 11-year-old biliterate Latina, was the subject of this case study. She used her home funds of knowledge to become computer literate through the development of a website focused on Mexican heritage. The website, created via funds of knowledge drawn from the community, in turn involved families and the local community in computer technology. (Contains 3 figures.)
