The Digital Divide
After taking this class, I realized how important it is to address the digital divide in a classroom. Even with high academic standards and fabulous technology equipment, our classroom instruction can not ignore the fact that some students have limited experience with technology and others are consumed by it. I have been looking for ways to bridge this gap. With a world already divided, technology could further alienate poor students. My plan for the next year is to make sure every student feels comfortable with basic web 2.0 tools, being careful in assigning daily homework online, writing grants for one-to-one computers and exploring community opportunities for students.
