  Still Separate, Still Unequal? (The Case of Digital Equity in Education)

  I teach in an elementary school that hovers around 50% caucasian and 50% Hispanic. The community it serves has a high poverty rate. Fewer than half of my students have computer access at home and only half of them have internet access. I don't notice a difference in access based on race, but rather based on economics. The more money the parents make, the more likely the students are to have a computer with internet access.

  
  

  Fortunately, my school has become over the last few years very progressive with both computer and internet access for our students. This does not mean the students use computers or the internet more, it just means they have greater access.

  
  

  This year my administration has arranged for me to spend 2 hours daily helping teachers integrate the technology we have into their classrooms. I will be keeping anecdotal records on my blog detailing the progress we make. I didn't realize how few minority students had the opportunities my students have until I read your post. I feel fortunate to be in this position.
