On "Becoming" Technologically Literate: A Multiple Literacies Theory Perspective
Bangou, Francis; Waterhouse, Monica
E-Learning, v5 n4 p445-456 2008
This article uses a multiple literacies theory framework to explore the processes of "becoming" technologically literate through a year-long ethnographic study of two Master of Education pre-service second language teachers, a Latina woman and an African American woman, who learned how to use computer technology to teach Spanish at a large Midwestern university. The case studies of these two women are analyzed to gain insights into how teacher education programs can support racial minority pre-service teachers in "becoming" technologically literate. First, the authors provide an overview of the multiple literacies theory developed by Masny. Second, the stories of the two pre-service teachers are presented. Finally, curricular and pedagogical recommendations for second language education Master of Education programs are provided. (Contains 1 figure.)
