Electronic and Linguistic Connections in One Diverse 21st-Century Classroom

Explores one vision of a multifaceted classroom community (comprised of teachers, an intern, cross-age tutors, students, and parent volunteers, all from a variety of language and ethnic backgrounds) in a classroom where authentic discourse and language diversity flourish as children develop many electronic and non-electronic literacies. Notes that learning events involve teaching by assisting performance rather than by repetition and recitation. (SR)
