Using+Technology+to+Affirm+Diversity+(K.K.)


 * How can technology be used to affirm diversity? **

Technology can be used to help many kids deal with diversity. One thing that technology can help with is kids with diverse backgrounds and students who speak different languages. One simple way of helping students who speak different languages is by changing the language setting on Google. If the students are given an article to read online they can have the information translated for them. They can also use programs on the internet to learn English and other students can learn more about a language other than English. 


 * Give an example of a technology that affirms diversity and be specific in describing HOW it affirms diversity. **

An example of a website that deals with diversity is [|The Adventures of Josie True]. Josie True is a Chinese-American girl who is very interested in science, math, and technology. This is a way of supporting diversity because students are able to learn about diverse historical figures and learn about Josie's past. This website is also great because it motivates young girls to get involved with fields dealing with math and science. Websites such as this one can bring students together to learn about the importance of diversity and allows the students to celebrate their diverse backgrounds.
