Multicultural schools (including high refugee background populations) like Arthur Phillip High School have a range of complicated and difficult issues.
Technology doesn’t solve everything, but if
used correctly it can be a great help in crashing through the barriers of
literacy issues faced in multicultural schools.
- In terms of psychological and social problems, community and a sense of belonging can be built using appropriate techniques (e.g. group work on draw motion video's exploring different cultural perspectives).
- In terms of helping language barriers, bilingual tools through blogs and words without borders can provide a bilingual mode of learning.
- In terms of breaking down western bias, by incorporating other cultures via Sporcle, draw motion videos, bilingual translations of texts, and blog presented forms of modern texts, all can progress in the modern world equally.
Every student has the right to knowledge.
