Another factor that can determine the participation of the person is gender. In a study, males for found more likely to engage in the digital world, but once the user understands and masters the skills needed, men and women are equally likely to engage in the digital world (Hargittai & Waljeko, 2008).]]> 2018-05-04 03:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257901988 17089290 https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257902219 As the digital world grows and grows, and new technology is introduced to world, we get a digital divide between the people who can use, afford, understand the technology and the people who can not. California high schools took part in a study to see the effects of the digital divide on students. the results found that student-computer ratios in school were similar,  the social contexts of computer use differed, with schools affected by human support networks, irregular home access to computers by students and socio-economical statuses (Warschauer, Knobel, Stones 2004). It is factors like these teachers must address to help their students become digitally fluent and to bridge the digital divide.]]> 2018-05-04 03:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257902219 17089290 https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257902244 In closing we find that the digital divide is the individuals access to information and communications technologies (Selwyn, N 2004). We find that the main reason for a digital divide and a lack of participation is access to the technologies and being able to understand the digital world. To bridage this gap teachers must get their students access to the technology and help the reach the full potential in the digital world.]]> 2018-05-04 03:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257902244 17089290 https://padlet.com/17089290/14mj5croozz6/wish/257902322 Hargittai.
