It is definitely not as universal as it is sometimes assumed to be. But I feel like that makes it all the more important to teach these technologies in school, so that kids that may not have access to it at home can learn it as well.Brittany Soperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948386774993101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602017946188567620.post-28455183914816488922008-06-03T18:32:00.000-07:002008-06-03T18:32:00.000-07:00I was thinking the same exact thing somewhere alon...I was thinking the same exact thing somewhere along the line as I was reading. While I was student teaching in the Rochester district, I had students in my class who were on computers every single day at home, playing games, surfing the net, etc. At the same time, I had students in my class who couldn't even turn on a computer or shut it down without help. Obviously, in an urban district such as Rochester, you are going to have a wide range of students in ANYTHING, including their access to technology, which is a challenge for teachers. I don't have the answer as to how we can bridge the gap between these students, except spending time with the students who lack the digital literacy and teaching them how to use these resources...Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240572531420491339noreply@blogger.com
