Developing Culturally Consonant Curriculum Using the Technology of the New Millennium

This paper explains how educational technology and multimedia materials can enhance teaching and learning for today's diverse students. The United States still carries the Puritan influence in education (attempting to build a single culture), with little recognition of the need to address diversity in California's K-12 classrooms. Recently, California legislative mandates developed a policy of banning curriculum materials in Spanish, yet in over half of all California school districts, 20 percent of students are non-English speakers.
