Abstract | The Students and Parents In Cooperative Education (SPICE) Family Literacy Program serves central Maine's Regional School Unit #3 (RSU 3). SPICE's mission is to integrate childhood and adult education. RSU 3 spreads across 440 square miles. Over this vast distance, there is no one town where people gather. So SPICE educators went straight to their adult learners' homes. SPICE was meeting all of their learners' needs except one: rural isolation. This case study of a family literacy program using technology explores how to help alleviate rural isolation with virtual learning. SPICE's journey highlights six aspects to consider when thinking about how technology can transform family literacy programs: (1) A virtual world provides real community; (2) A virtual world provides human connection; (3) A virtual world reshapes the process of learning; (4) A virtual world can hold infinite "buildings"; (5) Use technology to track application of skills; and (6) Address technology reluctance "in your staff."
