Multi-culturalism in the socially networked classroom

Last week we had Prieto Loreto on campus to help us think about how we might review online courses for infusion of multiculturalism. (That sentence seems incomplete, and not structured right, but after the cold weekend, I can't figure out why.)

Anyway, during the program, I dug around a bit trying to figure out the demographic information of those who use social networks. I came across a review that Facebook did of their users last year at this time. It's interesting reading (and their comments are too, but the comments make you wonder the demographic information of those people as well.)

Not sure what we can pull from this, but it's an interesting place to start the conversation about the digital divide and incorporation of Web 2.0 and social networking into the digital classroom.
