Abstract

This chapter summarizes exploratory field observations with interpretive comments in three Chicago area schools (two elementary and one middle) and explores the relationship between children's literacy, use of computers, and the world wide web. These observations provide better understand of how the world wide web could be used to support children's literacy development. The cases provide detail related phenomena that could be further explored and achieve fuller understanding of the role computer technology plays in children's classroom learning and advocates for the holistic study of the wellbeing in children.
