MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION: INDEPENDENT MOVEMENTS ON PARALLEL PATHS

Connie S. Hankee, Gina Zanolini Morrison

Abstract


Over the lastfew decades, two majorforces affecting the lives of second language learners have emerged in educational systems throughout the world: the increasing diversity of student populations and emerging technological advancements. The juxtaposition of these two phenomena presents an opportunity to bring together two educational movements: multicultural education and technology education. These entities are examined as parallel social movements whose convergence would provide the momentum for needed changes in today's educational systems.Banks, J. A.
