Technology Gap Inequities in access to technology (physical
and pedagogical) Divide across race, class, language,
disability, sex/gender, region etc E-divide between have’s and have-not’s

Digital Divide Increasing access gap between those who
have and those who do not have: access to ICT access to content that benefits socially and
economically skills to take advantage of ICT services ability to afford to pay for digital services.

Pertinent Issues Access to ICT Ability to use ICT Actual use of ICT Impact of using ICT

Strands Access to technology hardware and
software: Home Classroom
Access to progressive pedagogy Access to cultural capital

Factors in Digital Divide Affordability: Is technology access affordable for
people to use? Capacity: Do people understand how to use
technology and its potential uses? Relevant content: Is there locally relevant
content, especially language? Integration: Does technology further burden
people's lives or does it integrate into daily routines?

Factors in Digital Divide Socio-cultural factors: Are user limited by innate factors
(gender, race, and socio-cultural factors)? Trust: Do people have confidence in and understand
implications of technology they use (privacy, security) Political will: Is there political will in governance to do what is needed to enable the integration of technology throughout society?
Legal and regulatory framework: How do laws and regulations affect technology use and what changes are needed to create an environment that fosters its use?

Debate on priority of ICT-Nay
ICT a waste of money Funding should be directed to more important
areas of impact and real need Risk of disillusionment ICT does not provide benefits and may infact
open people up to new forms of harm
![Page 11: Technology Gap. Objectives Develop a deeper understanding of technology gaps in relation to IDT Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of e-resources as](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f505503460f94c737e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Debate on priority of ICT-Yea
Divide will become wider if ICT is not promoted ICT can support other social and economic goals
to improve peoples lives Access to ICTs and participation in ‘information
society’ will have far reaching benefits
![Page 12: Technology Gap. Objectives Develop a deeper understanding of technology gaps in relation to IDT Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of e-resources as](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f505503460f94c737e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Debate
Although the costs of new information infrastructure are high, the future costs of not doing so are much higher
ICT is a priority for development but requires national level strategies and support
ICT should be development focused A best practice formula is not possible
because of developing countries diversity

ICT Education Goals ICTs as a subject: Information literacy,
programming and other related skills. eLearning and distance education Access to learning communities Access to increased and up-to-date information

3 Strands of the Divide
1. Access to technology
2. Access to pedagogy
3. Access to cultural capital

Digital Divide Solutions:Some Ideas Rethink the implications of the heavy reliance on
computer technology in education University/Public School partnerships Intensive teacher training Put money into training and up-keep instead of
more and more equipment Team teachers with technology experts to bridge
some lack of knowledge in both groups

e-Resources: Educational medium- Opportunities Global compendium Expansion of resource base Intercultural interaction Facilitation of dialogue and social
action

e-Resources: Educational medium- Challenges Learning curve Instability Fading educational/commercial lines Diminishing face-to-face interaction Limited “inclusion”

Assessment to Educational Web Sites Do all learners have equitable access to
necessary technology? Does the resource encourage critical
thinking? Will using the Internet contribute to the
learning process in relation to the given topic?
