The New Information Technology and the Education of Hispanics. The Promise and the Dilemma. Policy Pamphlet Series No. 1.
Loop, Liza
Intended as a tool to help bring the issue of technology and the education of Hispanic Americans to a practical and positive resolution, this pamphlet is divided into four sections. The first provides background information on and a summary of the proceedings of a one and one-half day seminar held in June 1986. The second section contains discussions of seven facts about and seven findings of research on educational technology and Hispanic Americans, including the role of technology in the schools; teacher preparedness for technology use and multicultural education; the need for equitable funding of educational technology programs for all groups; the danger of focusing on remediation rather than on high achievement; and the importance to Hispanic Americans of bilingual education, school-community linkages, and increased functional and physical access to computers. These discussions lay the groundwork for the third section, which contains suggested policy statements for use in establishing school or organizational policy as well as for use in publications and in meetings. These statements correspond to the following areas: (1) language and culture; (2) the community-classroom connection; (3) training of educators; (4) fiscal responsibility; (5) attitudes toward technology; and (6) access to computing. The final section provides the names and addresses of seminar participants and Tomas Rivera Center scholars. (GL)
