Digital Divide delivers

Digital Divide presents statistics and additional information which verify many of our own subjective observations of students with varied access to computer technology and trained teachers. In spite of reports that most schools are now connected to the Internet, many public school students do not have adequate time to explore and appropriately evaluate information resources on the Internet. Most public schools are doing the best they can with the resources they have to provide equity to all students; additional funding from public and private sources provides needed assistance. Digital Divide presents substantial evidence that ALL students need access to current technology and Internet connectivity, as well as to up-to-date teachers who have on-going technology training. We will use the information it provides to enhance our technology training and use efforts.
