A Media Literate Approach to Developing Diversity Education

Abstrak / Ringkasan

This article describes a classroom project developed in a course on diversity education that required pre-service teachers to use media
literacy as a way to cross cultural borders and reach out to an online partner to exchange information and learn about different ways
of relating to the world and interpreting cultural phenomena. Students kept a journal in which they recorded and reflected upon their
experiences. The project resulted in an increased awareness of the potential of social networks and online learning platforms in helping
students connect to different people, engage in cross-cultural communication and participate in new online communities.
