Abstract

This paper discusses two projects designed to address requirements for a graduate secondary education program at an urban university. The program is framed by a multicultural education (diversity) perspective throughout. In addition, the concurrent needs for technological literacy and reflective teaching need to be fulfilled. The blog project has been in place for two years while the wiki is a recent innovation in an effort to guide candidates in addressing and forming their own perspectives.
