A1: The lack of tech resources in classrooms or at home compared to the tech-based world we live in! #EduGladiators

angelamirretti Jul 22 @ 11:40 AM EDT

Accessibility gap #EduGladiators

In reply to @LSkae

D4Griffin3 Jul 22 @ 11:40 AM EDT

A1) Digital divide includes access & more importantly expectation of how technology is utilized to enhance student learning. #EduGladiators

Stella_Pollard Jul 22 @ 11:40 AM EDT

I don’t understand why more isn’t done in the political world to give everyone an opportunity to have affordable internet. #edugladiators

mgrosstaylor - Moderator Jul 22 @ 11:40 AM EDT

The cost of being connected absolutely presents challenges to school, Ts & Ss. #EduGladiators

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

Terencewhite23 Jul 22 @ 11:40 AM EDT

A1: Access is not an issue. Do Ss know how to use the devices to be creators not just consumers #EduGladiators

A1: #edugladiators Difference in access to technology thru: $$, home, knowledge of use (T and/or S), or limiting clssrm & campus policies

Rdene915 Jul 22 @ 11:42 AM EDT

#edugladiators @EduGladiators A1 Not enough resources avail, but also I see a diff btw skills among students, staff, generations,

A1. Digital divide is the gap btwn potential #tech capabilities & actual human skill to interact w/ the tech. #EduGladiators

#edugladiators I am using tweetdeck and not seeing Qs either, odd ;)

In reply to @mexusmx, @TweetDeck

And that's a huge point you just made. Lots of opportunities. The question is why? #edugladiators

In reply to @mexusmx

teachermike72 Jul 22 @ 11:42 AM EDT

A1: Digital divide is some kids not having as much access to technology or internet access as others. #EduGladiators

In reply to @mdianereed

mexusmx Jul 22 @ 11:43 AM EDT

A2: Major cause is the assumption that Ss have the bandwith necessary to access videos and other resources. #EduGladiators

mgrosstaylor - Moderator Jul 22 @ 11:43 AM EDT

A1: Digital Divide to me is how equitable we are instructing ALL Ss how to use tech to create, curate & collaborate. #EduGladiators

Stella_Pollard Jul 22 @ 11:43 AM EDT

Yeah, and it’s horrible. No streaming video, no youtube… There’s not a lot that can be done w #hughesnet being your provider. #edugladiators

In reply to @Terencewhite23

JWMcMillan803 Jul 22 @ 11:43 AM EDT

Great way to think about it. Ts who are in 50s & 60s rely on the younger Ts to learn the ins & outs of the tech push. #EduGladiators

A1:It's a gap between Ss and Ts' knowledge about digital technologies and digital world in general #edugladiators

Terencewhite23 Jul 22 @ 11:44 AM EDT

A1b: what's interesting is that 97% of all Americans only have two options for Internet access. #edugladiators

In reply to @mexusmx

PaulONeill1972 Jul 22 @ 11:44 AM EDT

A1: The space between... Between access and accessibility. Between usage and usefulness. #EduGladiators

RustyMayInc Jul 22 @ 11:44 AM EDT

A1b: Another example that equal access does not mean equal opportunity. What good is a library if you can't read? #EduGladiators

mgrosstaylor - Moderator Jul 22 @ 11:44 AM EDT

Q2. #EduGladiators

polonerd Jul 22 @ 11:44 AM EDT

A1: Digital divide is created by equity & reveals itself when it comes to lack of skills for those Ss who don't have access. #EduGladiators

Hahne_KingEle Jul 22 @ 11:45 AM EDT

A1 There's a divide somewhere that is impacting the way we approach education as well as life. Money, generations, devices. #EduGladiators

That's an interesting perspective. How does this play a role in the classroom? #edugladiators

In reply to @Pakonas

A2 The ability to maneuver technology, the different users & platforms, or the technologies being used by many daily. #edugladiators

The importance is HOW tech is being used. If being used for low level learning, OECD shows it can have a negative impact. #edugladiators
