- Equitable access to hardware, software, the internet, and technology support within schools
- How frequently students and teachers use technology in the classroom and for what purposes they are using it
- Whether student users know how to use info and communication technology for their personal empowerment

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regards to "computer access, usage, and skill?"
- Research says that students who live in rural areas have lower levels of skill, comprehension, and access. This gap can be very dangerous when it comes time for these students to enter a technologically advanced society.

List the three interconnected processes that exacerbate poverty.
- Market triumphalism at the ideological level
- Polarization at the economic level
- Demobilization at the political level ]]> 2019-03-04 17:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/limeginger18/mn5uo86cdced/wish/337582178 Erin Gilger erin_gilger https://padlet.com/limeginger18/mn5uo86cdced/wish/337587054  What are the three levels of the digital divide? 
-Equitable access (to the internet, software, hardware and technology)
-how often students are exposed to/are able to use technology in the classroom
-whether students  know how to use  technology for personal empowerment 

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regards to "computer access, usage, and skill?"
-Families coming from lower socioeconomic status in rural areas have been observed to have less skill and computer access/usage than the families in higher socioeconomic, urban areas. This gap is harmful to students who may move out of these areas into places where technological advancements are higher.

List the three interconnected processes that exacerbate poverty
market triumphalism at the ideological level, polarization at the economic level, and demobilization at the political level.

1.   "Equitable access to hardware, software, the internet, and technology support within schools”
2.    “How frequently students and teachers use technology in the classroom and for what purposes they are using technology”
3.    “Whether student users know how to use information and communication technology for their personal empowerment”

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regards to "computer access, usage, and skill?
There is a gap between the rural and urban. It is described as stark and “not often foregrounded in articles that celebrate 21st century approaches.” It is said that the rural students have lower levels of skill, comprehension, and access to necessary technology. Further, they say that this disadvantage can be detrimental leading to lower levels of social advancement and poor academic achievement.

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regard to "computer access, usage, and skill"?
Families in rural areas have lower levels of skill, comprehension, and access to necessary technology.  There is a gap between rural and urban families.  Students from more rural areas lack the skills and access that builds experience and proficiency, which can negatively affect them later in the career world of a technologically advanced society.  The gap can also contribute to lower levels of advancement and poor academic achievement.

2. How frequently students and teachers use technology in the classroom and for what purposes they are using technology.
3. Whether student users know how to use information and communication technology (ICT) for their personal empowerment.

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regard to “computer access, usage, and skill”?
- Families who live in more urban areas are not foregrounded in articles that celebrate 21st century approaches. Rural areas from low socioeconomic statuses families have lower levels of skill, comprehension, and access to necessary technology.

I agree with her position, but I wonder. If we can help students acquire digital literacies -- which they need to engage in 21st Century civic life -- can they then use those skills for self-empowerment by working for social change? The author impressively argues that no literacy initiatives throughout history have solved inequities or improved lives sufficiently. I get it (although it's pretty sad!), but what if we DON'T help kids acquire those digital skills? Then there's no change at all, right? I'm hoping someone will pick up this thread and expand my thinking.

3. Whether students know how to use information and communication technology for their personal empowerment

According to the article, how do families who live in more rural areas compare to their colleagues from an urban part of town in regard to computer access, usage and skill?

 According to the article, "The gap in “computer access, usage, and skill” (Ritzhaupt et al., 2013, p. 293) between students from low socioeconomic status families who live in rural areas and students from medium to high socioeconomic status families who live in more urban areas is stark and not often foregrounded in articles that celebrate 21st- century approaches. There has been research stating that rural students from low socioeconomic status families have lower levels of skill, comprehension, and access to necessary technology (Thomas, 2008). Such findings are not connected enough to ways of 21st- century teaching. "
