• In Event: Roundtables - Thursday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables I - SMT

Short Description

“Digital divide” describes differences in the population’s access to and knowledge of digital technologies, and many educators are faced with being on the “wrong” side of the divide. In this session educational stakeholders will discuss levels of disparities that exist as it relates to technology in education. Case studies that identify teachers who have reached beyond the divide and provided students access to quality technology education with very limited resources will be presented.
