Since March of 2020, most of us have heard the phrase "We're all in the same boat." I believe we have all seen instances that prove this statement was untrue. We may have all been in the same storm, but we were not all in the same boat. Some people had yachts, some had row boats, and some were drowning without a boat.
Equity Awareness is a topic that also seems to affect people in different ways. If you are in the majority, you may not be aware of the need for equity awareness. People in marginalized groups in our population have had to face topics related to inequity on a regular basis. Using technology tools, such as VR and AR, to instruct about topics related to equity awareness could make the topic more manageable for some students. Touring the Smithsonian museums is a great way to incorporate primary sources into a lessons about equity or, sadly, inequity in America. A virtual tour of the African American History and Cultural Museum offers a collection of artifacts that provide insight into the life of African Americans. It also provides a counter story that is not available in most history courses in schools.
