Insisting on Digital Equity: Reframing the Dominant Discourse on Multicultural Education and Technology
Gorski, Paul C.
Urban Education, v44 n3 p348-364 2009
In the United States, where technological progress is portrayed as humanistic progress, computer technologies often are hailed as the great equalizers. Even within progressive education movements, such as multicultural education, the conversation about instructional technology tends to center more on this or that wonderful Web site or piece of software than on equitable access to these technologies. In this article, the author challenges people working at the intersections of multicultural and instructional technology, insisting that our first concern must be the elimination of digital inequities. It is only when we reframe the dominant discourse in this way that we practice authentic multicultural education.
