ABSTRACT. At an elementary school in inner city Toronto, I am working with
the principal, a kernel group of primary teachers, and the school’s technician
to develop children’s digital literacies. Main Street School is dedicated to the
pursuit of social equity for its population of grade K-5 students who are characterized
by high multiculturalism and low income. The school achieves this goal
through the promotion of digital learning. Our project experimentally writes
the children of Main Street School into dynamic postmodern digital versions
of traditional European fairy tales, and showcases the evolving transliteracies
children are navigating in the pursuit of emergent literacy.
REDACTION DE CONTES DE FEE POSTMODERNES A LA MAIN STREET SCHOOL :
HISTOIRES NUMERIQUES ET LITTERATIES NOUVELLES
RESUME. En collaboration avec le directeur, un groupe d’enseignants et les
techniciens d’une ecole primaire de la grande ville de Toronto, je travaille
au developpement des connaissances numeriques des enfants. La Main
Street School se consacre a la poursuite de l’equite sociale chez ses eleves
de niveau K-5 qui se distinguent par un multiculturalisme marque et de
faibles revenus. L’ecole realise cet objectif en encourageant l’apprentissage
numerique. A titre experimental, notre projet campe les enfants de la
Main Street School dans des versions numeriques postmodernes et dynamiques
de contes de fee europeens traditionnels, et montre comment
les enfants de cultures differentes evoluent vers une culture emergente.
