Educational Equity And Diversity: Technology And The Digital Divide

Number of Pages 7

7 pages in length. The freedom inspired by technological advancement is something that simply cannot be measured in the traditional sense; the ability to purchase, research, educate and recreate all from the comfort of one's home is a freedom of empowerment that was only found in science fiction books just a generation ago. However, it has not proven to be a concept of equal opportunity empowerment, particularly within the educational arena. Digital divide - the disproportionate availability of technology to all global communities - has created a partition between those who have ready access and those who - for reasons such as learning disability - are unable to become "connected" to the educational benefits inherent to technology. While parents of some low income learning disabled children have access to and instruction from outside sources as a way of helping integrate reading lessons at home, others do not have easy access or even own a computer and thereby must rely upon their child's school system to bridge the ever-widening gap between educational pursuits and limitations of a learning disability. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
