Help us imagine and put together new ways to open cultural horizons for future technology creators! Keeping in mind how cultural diversity (and lack thereof) can influence tech, we will discuss how education can help expanding the view technology can have of humans.
We will also share some of the experiences, strategies and lesson plans we've created to teach cultural diversity through technology creation around the world. We'll share a bit of what we feel we're lacking and what we dream of doing.
This session will also be an opportunity to create a library of resources that can be fed and used by educators all around the internet. If you have an idea, a video, know of a cool project, want to share links or even a couple of stories, join us!
I'm thinking of putting some conversational games in place and use Google docs and padlets to collect notes.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:I would like to create a page with a repository and a blog. I'd like to make available the programs I've written so far and encourage other educators to remix and share what they've thought about.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:We will collect the ideas on a Google doc that will remain open for edits/comments after the session.
This session is part of an initiative to create a sort of online repository with resources for educators interested in this issue. We're hoping we will be able to create the space after the session and add there the contributions we may have collected in the session.
