Students from lower-income households, women, first nations people, older people, people with disabilities and people living in rural or remote locations are more likely to have lower digital literacy, issues accessing regular and reliable internet, lower digital confidence or more likely to be subject to online abuse. These are all factors with the impact of the digital divide.

Teachers should approach tasks considering the 3D Model, which includes general capabilities, learning areas and cross-curriculum priorities. This allows a teacher to support students who are at different levels of their learning.
