The technology gap also affects our classrooms and we as teachers have a responsibility to work towards closing the gap between the poor and rich in the area of technology. As it mentions in the article if we do not use technology in the classroom we are doing a disservice to our students. But as we discussed in class, what about those students who don't have access to technology in their homes?
I would argue we can still teach them as much as possible about technology in our classrooms. There's a lot that can be done in the class with technology. I would argue we would be doing our students the greater disservice if we did not use technology as much as we can.
Your last sentence sums up my stance on the issue "we would be doing a greater disservice if we did not use technology as much as we can." Great analysis that while better technology is available , not all students have the means to acquire and interact with such expensive devices.
