  1. After reading my classmates posts, I found that everyone has different areas of diversity that they are interested in. Some of the issues that stood out to me include equal opportunities for minorities in education, disability and employment, and diversity in higher education. The reason that I found equal opportunities for minorities in education is because being an education major, I have learned that there are some teachers out there who overlook students who are minorities, and do not allow them to have the same opportunities as their peers. When I become a teacher, I never want my students to feel out of place or left out in my classroom because they are a minority. I want each student to feel that they are valued equally as they should be. The issue of disability and employment was interesting to me because I think that research that will help include more people who have disabilities in the workplace is always a good thing. In the future, I hope to see disabilities represented more. The last issue that I included in this post was diversity in higher education. The reason that I thought this was interesting is because I agree, and believe that it is true that people learn better when they are with others who are different. I think that everyone should have equal opportunities, and should not have to defend themselves because they are different. One of the media elements that made an impression on me was the one about equal opportunities for minorities in education. This is because the diagram shows just how unequal access to gifted education programs really is for minorities. This graph stood out to me because it is easy to understand, and is overall very impactful.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. In my opinion, Bogost does a great job of transitioning into new ideas. One area of his article that stood out to me because of the transition was when Bogost was talking about\u00a0 diversity being seen as a \u201cpipeline\u201d issue. In this paragraph, Bogost explains that people who have a good background in education have access to more that will allow them to eventually obtain a good job with their connections. He then says that fixing this issue will allow for a workforce that includes different types of people. Bogost set himself up for his next paragraph because that is where he gives an example of an organization that is working on resolving this issue. Bogost further describes the organization by saying, \u201cThe center\u2019s goal is to increase access to computer-science education among women and people of color\u201d. This explanation helps the reader to better understand why a center like this is important. Overall, I think that Bogost did a good job of transitioning in this section of the article.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
