Gabe throws out a familar buzz phrase in his blog. Social Justice. He writes, "Our country calls for an equal education for all students, but could that ever be achieved if schools are funded at such disparate levels? This, I believe, is an issue of social justice." If we respond to Selfe's call to action and begin paying attention to the technology that is being used in the schools, how it being used, and even why it is being used, social justice is a phrase that has to make its way into our vocabulary. Is what we do fair to all students involved? If not, is there a way to "make it so" (I feel so Jean-Luc Picard-ish here)? What can we do, as educators, to make sure that we are not privileging majority students over their minority counterparts? She we ignore technology if we can't? Should we abandon it all together? Is there a soultion to this problem?
