The history and context of vocabulary must be analyzed when evaluating texts. Universally valued human rights should include an equal opportunity to quality information and education. With technologies the planet now could have access to discourse, common ideas, historical textual contexts, and exposures to new identities. How often do classrooms analyze all hidden assumptions and perspectives on a subject? How can we improve K12 analysis of information using technology to provide meaning to vocabulary? Words are only useful to students who have established meaning or an understanding of how these words in the past, present, and future are used. How can we use art to help establish meaning?
