Go Big Blue!!!
Today, we received an email from Dr. Gilbert stating: “Multiculturalism is a powerful topic. How can involvement with technology advance our understandings across culture? In many ways, the Internet itself is already a tool for crossing boundaries and learning about cultures. What are some ways to harness this for your presentation?” In the group today, we discussed how we can incorporate technology in multiculturalism and arts classroom. So the group was playing around through the internet and we were getting impatient. So I added, why not make profile for a country. They agreed and the girls picked what country: KOREA!!! (their country of course). So, we got all the media, visual arts, short stories, music, and videos of different dances and put it all on one page. The other thing we said is that we want it to be clean not too cluttered like myspace. Our inspiration was facebook because it was clean, user friendly, and not too flashy.

Journal Entry 1 (Group Project)
Go BIG Blue!!!
Today in our group we discussed what can educators and students utilize through technology to enhance the teaching and learning experience. Jung actually said the idea multiculturalism through arts education. We all agreed. So we entitled our project P.A.M (Performing Arts in Multiculturalism). We decided to address the definitions and goals of multiculturalism in the performing arts classroom. We wanted multiculturalism in music and dance education in the United States because we notice that there are parallelisms in general education which creates literacy brought by different events (socially and historically). The purpose of this project is to have different philosophies pertaining to multiculturalism and relevant lesson plans. So we broke the project up. Seung had to search for youtube videos and audio media which entailed multiculturalism. Jung had to research multiculturalism through dance. Finally, I had to research multiculturalism through music and start on the powerpoint presentation.
