Technology fairs and showcase events can introduce all students to a wide range of technology activities, and may encourage an interest in technological education. Offering choices from a range of instructional activities or allowing students to select their own projects can help motivate all the students in a classroom by acknowledging the differences in their experiences, attitudes, and interests.
All students should have the right to a just education. This means, regardless of socio-economic class, religious, cultural, or ethnic status, students should be able to receive a fair education. Some students do not have the luxury of books, internet or parental support at home. These students should not be penalized or left behind for something they have no control over. In my practice, I will find ways to incorporate all students and to aide those who do not have access to all resources.
It is important to have open and frank discussions about the kind of workplace environment students are likely to encounter in technological fields. Inviting female and visible minority role models who have had successful careers in various technology sectors to be guest speakers, and involving female and visible minority senior students as mentors, can have a very positive impact on students. Also, exploring strategies that would enable those with different learning and social styles, including Aboriginal students and students from other minority groups, to work effectively together will help establish a more inclusive working environment.
