The Global Classroom and the Educational Challenge of Cultural Diversity
Moyer, Sonja S.
Educational Technology, v50 n6 p32-36 Nov-Dec 2010

Technology has been the catalyst, and the changes with the greatest impact on education are the location and size of the classroom. The challenges associated with these changes involve working with students from potentially an unlimited number of countries and cultures meeting online. Global education will have to bridge many differences, including language, religion, and values. Meeting new educational challenges of cultural diversity with old solutions will not be sufficient.
