How The Digital Divide Effects Students
The Digital Divide is the term for an issue facing American schools whose students do not have access to online learning tools at home. The use of technology in classrooms is increasing all over the world, and it allows students to consider the value of their learning in a global context.
For example, instead of creating a multimedia presentation for a single teacher or a single class period, the Internet allows that student’s presentation to be shared on public networks of all kinds. There are tons of examples and tons of possibilities to learn using technology. There are inexhaustible lists of applications, programs, and websites to use for any subject.
School districts are definitely responding to this call for technology and digital literacy. However, even if schools can provide a device, like a tablet or a laptop, for every single student attending, there is still a digital divide among students who are not connected to the internet at home.
Teachers are being trained to be cognizant of and responsive to the digital divide. Edsurge explains, “access doesn’t just come with tools—it comes with smarter educators. Push for more professional development, and open the dialogue within the professional community at your school and district.” Educators are working every day to treat students equitably and plan accordingly so that they get the most out of educational technology.
