Introduction
The Digital Republic has been a great help for students, has broken technological
barriers and also given the opportunity to children who never imagined they could
have access to technology.
It is extremely important that as future teachers we know the importance and good
use of the Digital Republic.
In this module we have worked on several themes based on this topic, below is a
compilation of the themes worked on.

The script of the audio
Panel on Multiculturalism and Social Media and their Impact on Education.
Moderator: Good morning everyone! Welcome to our panel where we will talk with
our experts the impact of multiculturalism and social media on education. These
issues are very important for today's society because the virtual world has become
part of our daily life which leads us to know new cultures, people who in one way or
another teach us different things and even more, since the Dominican Republic
has allowed many foreigners to integrate into the classrooms where our children
receive quality education and it is important that they interact with people from
abroad as they will enrich themselves with things they have never known in our
culture, and they too they would make them known about our culture that they
have never known in their country and through social networks multiculturalism will
expand and good relationships will be achieved.
The mechanism for this panel is as follow:
1. Each member will have a space to talk of about 5 minutes.
2. After the participation of the panelists we will ask specific questions about the
topics discussed.
3. The use of cell phones, laptop or any other electronic devices during the panel is
prohibited.
- After establishing the rules we can start this panel with multiculturality and its
impact on social media. Now is time of Mr. Slim.
Mr. Felip.: Good afternoon distinguished people, multiculturality in the educational
institutions cannot be understood like a simple performance to facilitate the social
or school integration of students from another cultural origin; it is not only the
presentation of alternative didactic strategies to stimulate demotivated students; it
is not only to give the appropriate educational tools to each academic singular
reality; the multiculturalism must be understood as the acceptance of plural
realities. It is to introduce a coexistence of plural realities that enrich the

3
educational institution and the classroom with the differences, similarities and the
necessities of the pupils. To educate in the multiculturalism it is necessary to
change the faculty’s attitudes and the institution school, to change the relationships
that take place in it. It is necessary to change the institutionalized educational
process. The school should not assume a model of cultural understanding or of
cultural competition but a model of cultural emancipation and social reconstruction
where the culture of the minorities is a positive value and the multicultural
education promotes the cultural emancipation and the social improvement of the
pupil increasing its self-concept and expectations, breaking the circle of poverty
and lack of opportunities that, sometimes wraps those minorities. The
multiculturalism should not only be introduced through the transmission of the
contents in the classrooms like a simple informative reinforcement, by means of
educational techniques, but rather we should introduce it in the organization
structures and not to reduce the multiculturalism to the mere educational
intervention but leaving the walls of the classrooms and educational institutions to
collaborate or to assume protagonist in other social activities.
Moderator: Thanks, now we are going to listen to Mr. Jones in terms of social
media and their impact on education, a distinguished guest tells us about this topic:
Mr. Jones: Good afternoon dear audience, it is a pleasure for me to be with you in
this panel with this topic. I can tell you that social media allow individuals to
interact. In addition, they allow teachers and students to be in constant
communication.
Similarly, social media create an opportunity for learning, lifelong learning and
professional development, as well as an increasingly frequent scenario for
exchanging experiences, news and personal contact, in a world undergoing an
accelerated process of changes and transformations.
The social networks for being interactive tools help effectively in the teaching-
learning process; the student through these tools achieves meaningful learning,
thus acquiring capabilities that make it more autonomous. In determining skills and
competences, it acquires an important role, the search for information, the critical

4
analysis, the resolution of problems, the personal elaboration of functional
knowledge, the argumentation of one's opinions, the affective balance, the
teamwork, the self-learning and adaptation to change, creative and innovative
attitude, initiative and perseverance.
It would be important to detail the benefits and positive aspects of the use of social
media in current education.
Both teachers and students can benefit from the possibilities that social media
grant to teachers. They can facilitate their work as teachers and from the point of
view of the students, they can facilitate the learning process. They allow the
teacher to teach students to learn for themselves. Nowadays, the trainer, while
teaching, must act as a guide for students to discover new sources of learning by
hand online. Among these we can mention they help develop digital and
technological skills so necessary to operate in companies or in their own ventures
or professions. Using social networks and blogs fosters the value of sharing and
collaborating. In this way, not only does the teacher transmit knowledge, but it also
favors collaboration between people. They promote awareness of the importance
of socializing, working in teams, creating their own online image and forming their
own opinion and expressing it freely.
Moderator: Excellent dear Mr. Jones, now let's start with the round of questions,
Mr. Felip can tell us, ¿Can it affect the use of social networks in learning? If the
answer is Yes, Could you please let us know how?
Mr. Felip: of course, this system may affect the student's learning as if we give it
an inappropriate use, and we use social networks and the internet in different
interests that are not related in the field of study this could be something addictive
which may be that the student is distracted in other things either in games and
things that go according to what you want to learn, there are many distractions that
could cause learning distractions.

5
Moderator: Excellent response. Mr. Jones you can list some benefits of using
social networks:
Mr. Jones: Among the benefits of using social networks in the area of education,
we find the following:
• It allows teachers to teach the student to learn for themselves, acting only as a
guide in learning.
• They are a means of communication, allowing adolescents who are very
familiar with them, to feel more comfortable in their relationships with teachers.
But it not only serves to communicate between students and teachers of the
same center, but it can also help them to contact experts from other subjects or
students from other centers.
Moderator: Excellent, although I am not an expert on the subject but I can really
say that networks have become a basic tool for education today, making
multiculturalism grow more. We always hear that multiculturalism is important in
education, Mr. Felip could tell us why?
Mr. Felip: In this sense, multicultural education becomes very important, since it
represents a positive assessment of diversity and respect for people. Each human
being is a transmitter of their culture, which is expressed as part of their identity.
Moderator: Education is multicultural; there is no doubt about that. To continue with
our interesting panel of experts I would like to ask: What encourages students to
use social media?
Mr. Jones: The use of social media encourages the students to promotes the
value of sharing and collaborating. In this way, not only the teacher expresses
his/her knowledge, but cooperation between groups of people is favored.
Moderator: Thank you very much for your valuable contributions. We also thank
the public for being listening this audio-panel. Good afternoon and see you soon.

degree of interdisciplinary, since they allow various types of information
processing.

Interpretation: Other Disadvantages are as follows:
- High costs, the initial acquisition cost of the computer equipment and software
necessary for the effective implementation of the technology in schools and
colleges is very high.

13
-Inefficient and little diligent students, Over time it has become a very common
practice among students to take the first paragraph of Wikipedia as their sole
source of information.
Also the use of the web to find solutions has mathematical problems, instead of
solving them in the traditional way; it reduces the ability to learn.
-Wrong information, on the web there are many pages that have incorrect information,
which has been copied and pasted from another site without having done a prior check on
the authenticity of the information.
There are also sites that generate fake news for general traffic or trend on a topic
in social networks.
