Suzie's articles

I read a couple of articles for the assignment. Here are the refernces and summary of some:

- An elementary school teacher discusses how a lot of students are naive about the different cultures that exist in the United States. The author recommends using technology, such as Webquests, to have students learn more about the different cultures found in America (she uses the example of Native Americans).
