A2: I've tried to broaden my Ss thinking with how others can't go to school, lack necessities, learn differently. Not just race. #FLedChat

A5. Tech can provide access to kids from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Provided it's used for more than test prep. #FLedChat

A6. Reflecting .... wondering .... have I ever read any research that confirms this "widening?" #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: Those without access at home are at a disadvantage. Their own personal learning can be stunted. Much like homes without books. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

I def agree with that. It equips us to be able to reach our variety of students! #FLEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

kmichellehowell - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Exactly! #FLedChat

Some Ss can't afford or do not have access to some tech.Consequently,they have less access to info hence less access to knowledge. #FLEdChat

JulieHiltz Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6 When it's not done right it takes time away from the learning process. Ss lose instruction, interest, opportunities. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Q6: How (if applicable) does technology widen the learning gap? #fledchat

Spedtechmia3 Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6: Tech at school but Lack of wifi, printers, bandwith, etc to use at home #FLedChat

mrsfail3rd Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6: When choice and diversity is not given with tech, it could widen the learning gap... or simply when it isn't offered to Ss. #FLEdChat

In large part :) It's true, and I am not the expert, but I see differences on the daily. #FLedChat

In reply to @ms_dennis45

Hahne_KingEle Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6 Not sure about the widening. There needs to be a balance of tech and non-tech skills for our students. #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

yet .. many of those homes have phones - more and more each day which is narrowing this as a disadvantage? #FLedchat

In reply to @TG_Neil

LemarrTreadwell Jul 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5. Technology allows learning to occur not just by geography but Mindset.. #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Q5: In terms of socio-economics, how can technology help bridge learning gaps? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

There are still many places in my community (along the river) that has no cell/internet service. #FLedChat

In reply to @mjjohnson1216

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I agree with this. I believe that we should (within reason) open the access after school. #FLEdChat

blueegg3r Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6-Hmmm.... In some ways I've seen kids in borderline Title 1 or non-Title One schools w/far less tech which can problematic #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

could we add a 'ilttle dash of - intrinsic motivation? #FLedchat

In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

Spedtechmia3 Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6:Also lack of T's training for differently able S's -T's can use basic tech but not Apps and programs to help S's diverse needs #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

We must be careful we don't leave a small % behind just because it costs too much to support them at home. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

You know the saying "the world is at ur fingertips" Not if u dont have access or u don't know how to navigate the access you have #FLedChat

Absolutely! I'd also refer back to @V_Sojo when he said its a tool, and should not be a substitute for teaching. #FLedChat

A6. Back to my answer to A5. Limiting tech use to test prep will widen the achvmt gap. Been seeing it for yrs. & it doesn't work. #FLedChat

JK I'd be there, regardless..Kids are worth it #FledChat
