Digital Divide

I think teachers have very limited power in the issue of digital division. The local, state, and federal governments have great power (and great responsibility) to make sure that all students have access to the same resources. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Rich school districts have the best equipment, and enough for everyone. Poor school districts are short on equipment and may have lousy or old devices.

As a teacher, the best thing I can do is work with what I have. Like in my lesson plan, I adapted it to three different scenarios. All three scenarios are certainly plausible in my teaching future. I consider myself to be above average in the technological knowledge department. I believe that I would be able to teach my class effectively weather we have access to one computer or 25. I would prefer one for all my students, but you can't always get what you want.
