Breakout group - Culture and Race

The issues of culture and race are multifaceted, they often overlap with other issues of rural/urban and socio-economic students.

• The Internet is predominantly "white" and ethnocentric
• In general, most websites follow the same models, what would an afrocentric website look like?
• There have been many ICT resources poured into "at risk" schools, however, not necessarily the training and staff to effectively implement the technology... particularly when there are underlying cultural/racial issues that need to be addressed
• It is important to remember that there are cultural issues.... "sub-cultural" or "counter-cultural" issues that go beyond racial issues
