Abstract
As new electronic technologies are infused into social studies teacher education, there is the potential of their application to goals of equity, diversity, and cross-cultural understanding. This article focuses on the use of one electronic pedagogy, threaded discussion, and its application within graduate courses in social studies and global education. Used in conjunction with conventional face to face alternatives, threaded discussions can add to the development of a culturally diverse learning community, deepen meaningful discussion of controversial and sensitive issues such as prejudice, privilege, and discrimination and increase educational equity by changing patterns of dominance and interaction.
