Using+Technology+to+Support+Diversity

Technology is a great tool in supporting diversity. There are many informational and interactive websites that students today could greatly benefit from. A great example is "Living Voices." This is a website that contains a vast amount of information about Native Americans. It includes multiple interviews in audio format from people of Indian descent. They talk about Native American life today and how being Native American has influenced their lives. The reason this is so beneficial when teaching students to be aware of and support diversity is that the information is coming from a direct source. This website is supported and run by Native Americans so it includes trustworthy information as well as cultural opinion. This is a much better way of making kids aware of the cultures around us rather than a non-Native American teacher telling them about Native Americans.
