A7: I think for some tech skills are still seen as something separate to be learned when in fact, the skills could be embedded into everyone's curriculum. #USFMEdTech681
Well our time is up. Thank you everyone for contributing to this Twitter Chat #USFMEdTech681 on the Digital Divide and Tech Skills Gap. I hope you have a great rest of your evening and perhaps do something to take care of you if not tonight sometime soon!
@ChrisJaegle I'm sure the same kids who struggle to problem solve in real life have a harder time problem solving with tech. I like the idea of learning through failure (which is happening more since we are not physically with our students to walk them through how to succeed) #USFMEdTech681
A7 not enough practice. We are starting to use more at school, but many do not take that home to practice more. Some also are not getting help from their families because they are unfamiliar with what is being asked and the cycle just continues. #USFMedTech681
A7 The constant and quick evolution of technology. #USFMEdTech681
A7 - There's definitely an economic component. Some of it might also be cultural too. Some families might not embrace tech as a meaningful way to learn. I know I set limits on tech with my kids. I know it helps them, but maybe it puts them behind a little too. #USFMEdTech681
A7: Lack of experience and exposure to technology. I actually had my own to kids do typing practice over the summer. They just use their index fingers to type. To much tablet and phone use #USFMEdTech681
#USFMEdTech681 A7 We need to make coding mandatory like ABCs, the earlier kids learn, the less the digital divide. Our students learn it too late or not at all and we expect them to do everything with tech with they don't know the foundation.
A6: I agree that creative problem solving skills are important...I also think learning through success and failure is another important skill to teach students to leverage technology. #USFMEdTech681
@Garciajose1982 Even within our own country, we need to show empathy and reduce some of the racial divide to make this work #USFMEdTech681
@mirteaching @PersisSidhwa #USFMEdTech681 You make a good point, would districts be as responsive to the divide if the pandemic did not bring it to light
@mirteaching These parents are under so much stress! I am stressed and I am not worrying about making ends meet so can't imagine being out of work or dealing with death of a loved one as many unfortunately are right now #USFMEdTech681
@PersisSidhwa Absolutely agree that this pandemic is highlighting disparities, we should not forget it and keep on trying to fix the digital divide, it's not impossible. #USFMEdTech681
A5 I think not but we need to drastically reduce it and we should always continue the important work on reducing as much as possible. #USFMEdTech681
A5 I don't think we can ever completely get rid of it, but we can close the gap! This pandemic is shining a light on the disparities, and we are building the plane as we fly right now just doing what needs to be done in the moment. I hope it leads us to change #USFMEdTech681
#USFMEdTech681 A5 We also need more unemployment help so parents can focus on taking care of loved ones at home and therefore support their educational journey.
A5 I am not sure it will ever be eliminated but with maximum effort and more PD and time, we can shrink it some #USFMedTech681
