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

    What a timely piece!  I'm in the middle of collecting data to put together a presentation that echoes your conclusions for a group of minority school leaders who are themseleves ill-informed about the inequities around technology's role to support learning. I have worked with districts across the US for nearly 20 years and it is frustrating to see the powerful ways technology resources can help change the learning environment with digital productions, virtual field trips, etc versus other schools where it's no more than a walk down the hall for 30 minutes of "drill & kill" practice. There has to be a way to help the school leaders in the less progressive districts recognize the short-comings and reach out to their communities, students, and teaching staff to address the situation. We have hosted a national technology and leadership conference for K-12 educators and school board members for 23 years, www.nsba.org/T+L, but unfortunately we have little success in reaching the most challenged districts.
