Question Description
The Digital Divide
Are some students "left behind" in the teaching/learning process because of their limited access to computer technology at home? Will access to this technology become less and less of an issue as the costs for students and their families to access the Internet decreases?
Case Assignment
Read the assigned articles and in a minimum of 3 pages (not counting cover sheet and reference list), explain the implications of these reports on the access to, and use of, information systems in education by teachers, students and parents.
Clearly outline the areas of agreement and/or debate among researchers regarding the concept of "digital divide."
Finally, generate and present your own informed opinion about the concept "digital divide."
I welcome outside research for this project and look forward to further informational websites you might discover.
This assignment should focus on your area of study (elementary, secondary, post-secondary, or adult education).
