Session Submission Type: Symposium
This symposium explores the challenges and opportunities that exist as we embed digital literacy practices into classrooms to support English learners (ELs). The researchers bring together multiple perspectives and participants to conceptualize the use of digital literacies in EL instruction. The presenters focus on opportunities to demonstrate the link between technology use and what research suggests leads to educational equity and academic success for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
