I really relate to your comment on "We are no longer just an English speaking country but a multicultural planet with different languages and cultures. We must design and implement technologies that embrace other cultures and languages to encompass diversity, not only within this country but globally." I teach at a title I school and I have 3 non-english speaking students. I have to communicate with them in thier native language when they first come to me, usually in spanish. I utilize technology to do so!
