Tech+Tool+3+-+Cultural+Diversity



The International Children's Digital Library is a great resource for elementary school teachers. The website gives free access to books from all over the world; the collection includes books in over 4000 books in 61 different languages. Now that people have more access to the Internet due to the use of tablets, phones, etc., students can access these books easily in school or at home.

For students who have recently come to America from a different country or speak another language at home, these books can be a great way to practice their own language and stay connected to their countries. Teachers may want to use these books during culture or country units and also have them available in their library through a tablet. It will also be a great way for all students to look at books from different cultures and learn about different cultures.
