PLE 2a4
Technology separation amongst the classes. My initial though was full of memories growing up in rural Virginia and going off to college not knowing what was ahead but eager to tackle it. Once I arrived, I realized that I was unprepared, compared to my classmates from Northern Va. and the beach area that is. Catch up was an understatement.
As a group we discussed the digital divide and gave examples and possible solutions to aid each locality in closing the achievement gap. Through communication and collaboration we our focus narrowed and shifted more so to those who are disadvantaged and lack the means to purchase or access current technology.
