Debate rages o0ver digital divide-3rd article by Loretta
Since I have been concerned about inequity between wealthy and poor districts for quite some time I found this article very interesting. It makes sense that the wealthier school districts are going to provide more technology in their classrooms. The kids at the lowere end of the socio-economic spectrum are once again left out. Why do the higher socio- economic kids always have more advantages? The children in the Leavenworth schools do have technology available to them. This is wonderful! Know we need to make sure we have appropriate programs and staff training. We will continue to have to put time and resources into our technology program. Loretta

I wonder that myself. Why don't we find a way to give the lower socio-economic families more technology based learning. They need it more so because they are the families that can't afford to have computers at home and have no or very little experience using computers. I think school districts should get their cities more involved and ask for donations of either money or computers. That would be a start for putting more computers into school and allowing for more technology to happen.
