In the United States, 34 percent of all students with disabilities spend at least 20 percent of their instructional time in segregated classrooms. For students with intellectual or multiple disabilities, segregated placement soars to 80 percent. In \u003ci\u003eVoices on the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e, Yenda Prado and Mark Warschauer provide an ethnography of an extraordinary full-inclusion public charter school in the western United States—Future Visions Academy. And they ask: What does it mean to be inclusive in today’s schools with their increasingly pervasive use of digital technologies?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoices on the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e examines the ways digital technologies support inclusion and language and literacy practices for culturally and linguistically diverse children with and without disabilities. A wide range of qualitative data collected in the case study illuminates three central themes: (1) the kinds of social organization that allow a fully inclusive environment for children with disabilities to thrive, (2) the ways that digital technologies can be used to help students express their voice and agency, while developing language and literacy skills, and (3) the ways that digital technologies can be used to foster stronger networks and connections between students, teachers, staff, and parents.A Note about Authorship ix\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003cbr\u003eForeword: A Note about the Writing of This Book during the Pandemic xiii\u003cbr\u003eI\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003cbr\u003e2 Contested Models of Inclusive Education 17\u003cbr\u003e3 Technology-Supported Language and Literacy 31\u003cbr\u003eII\u003cbr\u003e4 Future Visions Academy: An Inclusive School 49\u003cbr\u003e5 Amplifying Student Voice: LLT Practices at FVA 81\u003cbr\u003e6 Technology as Connection 115\u003cbr\u003e7 Reflections on Technology and Inclusion in a Changing World 149\u003cbr\u003eIII\u003cbr\u003e8 Interdependence: A Relational Framework for Exploring Inclusive Education 161\u003cbr\u003e9 Looking to the Future 179\u003cbr\u003eAppendix A: Methods for Investigating Inclusive Education 195\u003cbr\u003eAppendix B: Technologies Used at FVA 215\u003cbr\u003eNotes 221\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 259\u003cbr\u003eIndex 285“Based on ethnographic research in the classroom, \u003ci\u003eVoices on the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e deftly straddles the theoretical and the practical.
