Yesterday in the midst of South By Southwest (SXSW) in downtown Austin I was part of a Multicultural Youth Study. I was invited by Maria Madrigal who learned about my work in education and technology with communities of color from my presence on the web. The goal of the study was understanding how Latino and African Americans identify and relate to technology, fashion, music and content.
It was a great experience and an opportunity to share my thoughts on technology (not just social media or the great news that Latino's and African Americans are online more than their white counterparts), but an opportunity to talk about the real issues of digital inequities and delineate some of the factors that lead to our young people's lack of participation in the digital society.
