Week 5
My favorite part of reading chapter 4 in the text was the author discussing the participation gap. This was my favorite part section because it is a reality that not all kids have access to technolgy at home, often times these are lower income students. I was one of those students I did not recieve a laptop until my senior of college for a graduation present and growing up compuers and software were never acessible to me but that didnt mean that I didnt have a hunger for knowledge and most of my teachers made it there task to see that I was fully knowledge on the lesson and some teachers that didnt care about me lesson anything but my will and desire never changed. We now live in a generation that is greatly inpacted by technology much more than when I was a child and as time goes on technology continues to advance.
Does you think the participation gap is a huge problem in are education system today?
Do you think it is neccessary for every child to have a computer either at school or at home?
