Studying the Impact of Technology-Infused Activities Among Low-Income Spanish-Speaking Immigrant Families Academic Article

abstract

• This study examines the impact of an intervention technology program-Community Learning Centers-designed to assist low-income Spanish-speaking parents in learning and using technology for family advancement. The study is based on a sample of 408 participants who completed pre- and post-surveys. Data collection was conducted across 2 years in 2008 and 2009. The findings suggest that the program is achieving its objective of providing technology literacy to parents, creating learning environments for capacity building, as well as empowering parents to become participants in the educational development of their children.
