How does technology use contribute to social and equity issues in schools?
I believe that a child who has access to technology is more likely to succeed in school so therefore they could be higher up on the social pole as well as have a better chance at doing well on an assignment. I believe this because the higher in your edcuation the more research that is required for a project, so if you have access to the internet right at home then you can spend as much time on your project as you want as well as work on it whenever you want. Whereas a student without access to the internet at home has to find the time either before or after school to use their computers and will then in return be limited to how much time they can spend researching and working on the project or assignment.
