Using+Technology+to+Affirm+Diversity-JG

Using technology in the classroom to explore Diversity can be done in different ways. On of my favorites is the use of podcast sharing. Two schools can use the technology of podcasts to ask each other questions obtaining two cultural differences.Another way to use technology while exploring diversity would be the use of power point. A good idea might be to have students research a country like Afghanistan (since that is a current issue) and then create a power point presentation describing some of the things they learned about the country and Government. Both of these ideas affirm diversity because they both involve a higher order of thinking. These project possibilities engage students in more than one way. A good source for students to use would be the National Geographic website http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/countries/country_afghanistan.html
