Topic 4 - The Digital Divide
For Topic 4, our group had to discuss Accessibility Issues and the Digital Divide. We looked at how people with disabilities can have trouble accessing technology and even when they can, technology is not always user-friendly. We also talked about the Digital Divide, which is the difference in the use of technology in schools based on ethnicity and socioeconomic status. We decided that the three factors that affect the Digital Divide are how frequently technology is used, student experience with computers and professional development for teachers on how to incorpate technology effectively into the classroom. Since we had a lot to discuss, we did not get to the other part of Topic 4, designing a "School of the Future."
