Providing equal digital access to all students
Is this possible? When I first thought about this question I thought this isn't possible. There are too many variables that prevent it from happening. Some students don't have access to computers or have parents who can help them. There are special Ed children who need help or more time with computers. I started to think about what we can do in the classroom and take the outside variable out of the equation. We may not be able to provide equal access outside of school but we can help them better prepare for the future in the digital world in the schools. All the students should be taught the necessary skills of the digital world and how to manage all the information that is available to them. They should get a digital education from teachers so when they do have the access they will be prepared and educated on how to use it properly, efficiently and responsibly. Equal access will be in the form of preparation to the digital world and each student will have the skills when they are needed.
