"Social Justice: Choice or Necessity?" by Colleen Swain and David Edyburn
This article details the important role technology plays in today's society and the disadvantage at which students who have not had adequate exposure to technology in school will be placed when they enter the workplace.
I wonder when we will get to the place where the idea of equity in education is a given? As the article states, it is currently frequently left up to individual teachers to find ways to provide technological access to their students. In additon, many teachers do not necessarily agree with the important role technology should be playing in the classroom. As I finish this paragraph I realize that the question I asked was quite rhetorical, but important nonetheless.
Do teachers have a responsibility to provide opportunities for technological development to their students? I believe they do, since not providing the opportunity leaves students' at a distinct disadvantage as the climb the educational ladder.
