Abstract	Many schools and programs in low-income neighborhoods lack access to the technological resources, including equipment and Internet service, that those in middle- and upper-income neighborhoods have at their fingertips. This inequity creates a persistent digital divide--not a simple divide in access to technology per se, but a divide in both formal and informal digital literacy that further marginalizes youths from low-income, minoritized, and first-generation communities. "Diversifying Digital Learning" outlines the pervasive problems that exist with ensuring digital equity and identifies successful strategies to tackle the issue. Bringing together top scholars to discuss how digital equity in education might become a key goal in American education, this book is structured to provide a framework for understanding how historically underrepresented students most effectively engage with technology--and how institutions may help or hinder students' ability to develop and capitalize on digital literacies. This book will appeal to readers who are well versed in the diverse uses of social media and technologies, as well as less technologically savvy educators and policy analysts in educational organizations such as schools, afterschool programs, colleges, and universities. Addressing the intersection of digital media, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic class in a frank manner, the lessons within this compelling work will help educators enable students in grades K-12, as well as in postsecondary institutions, to participate in a rapidly changing world framed by shifting new media technologies. Chapters include: (1) Mapping the Terrain (William G. Tierney and Suneal Kolluri); (2) Equitable Education for Democracy in the Digital Age (Joseph Kahne, Christina Evans, Erica Hodgin, and Young Whan Choi); (3) Computer Science for All (Joanna Goode, Julie Flapan, and Jane Margolis); (4) Facilitating Digital Access (Zoë B. Corwin and Antar A. Tichavakunda); (5) Reimagining STEM (S. Craig Watkins); (6) Diversifying Digital Clubhouses (Amanda Ochsner); (7) Supporting Youth to Envision Careers in Computer Science (Crystle Martin); (8) African American Youth Tumbling Toward Mental Health Support-Seeking and Positive Academic Outcomes (Lynette Kvasny and Fay Cobb Payton); (9) Black Student Lives Matter (David J. Leonard and Safiya Umoja Noble); and (10) Conclusion (Amanda Ochsner, Zoë B. Corwin, and William G. Tierney). (ERIC).
