Integrating Technology into Multicultural Education

Spend time making observations in at least one classroom that services students for whom English is an additional language in a Title 1, bilingual, or dual language immersion setting. Let your mentors know that you will be observing the learning environment and educational materials for evidence of multicultural elements as well as examples of the integration of culture in the teaching.

Based on your observations, create a table that includes five technological resources that could be used to enhance teaching within a multicultural educational setting. You may use the “Technology Resource Template” to complete this assignment. Include the following:

• The title and brief description of each of the resources or websites;
•  Links to the resources that you would integrate into your teaching;
• Rationale for each resource that explains how the resource aligns with the theoretical framework of multicultural education.

Below your table include a 250-word reflection that addresses the following:

• Why is teaching ELLs from a multicultural perspective important?
• How would you incorporate your five technological resource tools into your teaching?
