[LM_NET] Web 2.0 resources for multicultural education

[Donna Nix <dgillila@AOL.COM>]

Good morning,

It seems like traffic has picked up on LM_NET this week, so I'm hoping more folks 
are around and may be able to help with this question.

I work in an academic library, and we are moving all of our research guides to a 
new platform this summer (LibGuides).  I don't want my guides to be all text, so 
where appropriate I am looking for multimedia, blogs, podcasts, etc. that will 
enhance the information on the topic.  

This week I worked on a guide about multicultural education.  This is for teacher 
education students, and gives them direction for finding information about 
countries, cultures, ethnic groups, as well as issues in education related to 
cultural diversity.  I'm having a really hard time finding good media resources and 
web 2.0 sources (blogs and podcasts especially).  Does anyone have suggestions?  
I'm looking for places where this is a strong theme--not just a blog that has a few 
postings, but is really about educaton policies in a broader sense (for example).  
I'm also not intested in sites related to children's literature--I have that 
covered in my children's lit guide---this is more of a 'big picture' guide.  If you 
want to see what I have so far, here is the temporary address of the guide: 
http://libguides.stthomas.edu/content.php?pid=131662.

So, I hope this description makes sense, and that someone has some good suggestions.

Thanks,

Donna
