Well - I am not sure that this was the finished product, but I liked where the presentation was going. There were several good points that the group was making about cultural awareness and I feel that using technology to bridge the gap is a logical and wonderful solution. Hope to see the finished product soon.

I think the idea of teaching children about accepting diversity is a really good idea. Technology can be used to show the students different parts of the world. I think it would be a good idea to have older students discuss certian stereotypes that exist in their schools.
I think that the subject matter was concise and clear. Some annotation may have been helpful so that the reader knows the exact material covered i.e. the networks mentioned.
The background made it impossible to read all the text in some slides (at least on my computer)
I have to agree with all the other comments. I think some of the slides were not formatted properly (coloring, etc) The flow of the project was pretty good, but I can see this as a work in progress as Adam spoke about. The idea about multicultural education must also include how we as educators can adapt this material as well as "teach to the test" as we are told to by NCLB. I think if NCLB exists, we will be limited as to how much extraneous education can take place.
I do like the use of technology by using youtube videos, but they need to be explained as to the purpose of the videos in the presentation and not just to fill slides.
• The incorporation of videoconferences and “virtual field trips” will be a great way to integrate technology.
• The idea of Heritage Week or Month is good…I think month would be better since there are so many different cultural backgrounds and then you could culminate the experience by having the Cultural Exchange Day (or night in which case community members and families could be involved).
• Is there a reason you only targeted elementary and high school students but left out middle school students?
• I think you’re missing a slide for potential partners.
The presentation is very concise and colorful (visually appealing). I would just like to see some more specifics.
In light of the events that happened in Patchogue-Medford School District, my district, on Saturday, I absolutely see the urgency to not only educate young people on cultural diversity, but to also help foster tolerance and acceptance. To that end, that would be my suggestion with regard to this presentation: provide more opportunities to explore tolerance and acceptance rather than just focusing on cultural awareness. Use technology (ex. video conferences, Marratech, etc.) to truly educate students about this important issue. Visually, your presentation was awesome!
This presentation was visually appealing. The opening page was inviting and interesting. I found that the ideas could have been explained in more detail in order for the viewer to get a more complete understanding of the overall idea of the presentation. I loved the video and the idea of bringing cultural awareness to the students.
At my school we have multi-cultural week. During this week, there are assemblies and the week culminates with a fair where parents actually work at each station. Each station is a different country. The parents bring in food samples, games, videos, music, ect. The students walk around in small groups and "visit" each country. I think the students walk away with a sense of how different countries are similar and different. This idea combined with some type of technology tool like a podcast could be very powerful.
I really liked the overall topic and ideas covered in this presentation. It is integral that we educate students about other cultures in order to develop growth and understanding. Perhaps some geographical maps could be incorporated into the presentation? I think the use of the YouTube videos is a great idea, but have to agree that their purposes should be a bit more developed.
I thought this presentation did a good job explaining the ideas that you had, but it did not follow through with these ideas. I woudl really be interested in seeing the final product because this idea is one that I struggle with in my classroom.
I think this presentation is a great start to promoting cultural awareness. I would like to know specifically what you will do to educate students about the different cultures. We have a number of different cultures in our school and around he holidays we have an Inter-Cultural Unity luncheon. People bring in all different types of foods and many students to performances (singing, dancing, playing instruments, etc.) specific to their cultures. Maybe that would be a fun idea for students?
I believe this presentation was great over all. I would like to have seen some concept maps to organize the information in a cognitive accessible way. Within my school their is not allot of diversity and it is important form a young age to teach about this. I really enjoyed this concept and ideas.
I think this was done nicely. It was visually appealing. I think the content could have been more precise.
