Students who are in higher poverty areas do not have access to
programs that would accelerate their education like preschool. They
start off their lives lacking in cognitive development, limited
vocabulary, and limited learning experiences. (Darling-Harding, 2010) Many
students end up dropping out and not graduating because this was a trend set by
parents, siblings, or friends. Students tend to " fall through the
crack." (Darling-Harding, 2010) Many of theses students are going to
struggle at school with using technology for learning. Students who have access
are going to have a jump start and will go further than those who do not have
previous experience.
If a
student does not have adequate access, they might as well not have any access
at all. If I was using high speed internet at school, then had to go home to a
computer that was as slow as dial up, I think I would just give up! The ISTE
(International Society for Technology Education) is recommending that the FCC
"maintain optimal services" for school districts.(Goldmann, 2007)
This means" students, teachers, and community members will continue to
enjoy access without delay to valuable online material and resources...)
(Goldmann, 2007)
