Everyone can be a leader! When editing essays, both students helped each other make a correction from the rubric. Aubrey was confident in the citation page & helped Brooklyn & Brooklyn was confident in the in-text citations and helped Aubrey. #proud2bFD #FDCSD #FDMS #FDSH #FDElem

The social envelope needs to include infastructure, tech support, and PD for teachers. Schools also need to inform parents of the platforms that the students will be using and how to assist students at home.

Watters stated that MOOC's add to the Digital Matthew Effect because generally the uneducated do not have internet access of devices to participate. This leads to the educated getting more education and the uneducated getting less education.#EDUC501

[Christine Donnelly @Christi21780114]

This article also states that it is just not putting students on computers and letting them work. This leads to students that lack social skills in the classroom. This leads me to reflect on Warschaur belief in delivering tech in a "Social Envelope".

[Christine Donnelly @Christi21780114]

Tech. is a prerequiste for the most desirable jobs. Schools must close the knowledge portion of the digital divide. Schools need tech. equipment and infastructure. Teachers need meaningful PD to integrate tech. into all subjects.

"The Digital Divide: What Schools in Low Socioeconomic Areas Must Teach" by Dianne Thomas is a study of 3rd graders comparing low SES and non-low SES and recommendations for what schools can do to improve.#EDUC501

[Christine Donnelly @Christi21780114]

Approximately 75% of low SES have access to tech. compared to approximately 95% of non-low SES. This gap changes to a 5% difference when tech. is included in schools. Students need this tech. experiece to compete in the global workforce.

[Christine Donnelly @Christi21780114]

Students with access to devices and internet have an additional issue of using the devices in a meaningful way. The adults in their lives need to guide and instruct the use.

"Addressing Digital Inequalities Amongst Young People: Conflicting Discourses and Complex Outcomes" by Sarah Wilkin, Huw Davies and Rebecca Eynon was a report on a study in the UK. Students were given laptops and internet access. The digital divide was studied.

[Christine Donnelly @Christi21780114]

Low socioeconomic access had turned into a social, economic and culture issue presenting both opportunities and risks.
