Explain how you will use technology in your classroom to promote cultural pluralism and to diminish the educational impact of socioeconomic differences between your students
What will be an ideal response?
Technology can be used to increase students' knowledge of other cultures and understanding of different customs. Telecommunications programs, for example, increase students' ability to communicate with other people from various cultures. Other computer-based programs include the Alaska Native Knowledge Network and the 4Directions Project.
Technology can also be used to diminish the impact of socioeconomic status on student
learning. A web-based program called Reading Upgrade uses music and video in an interactive environment to help students master such fundamental aspects of reading as decoding, phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension.
