Digital Equity Challenges
eSCHOOLNEWS….Educators wrestle with digital-equity challenges…..
Paul E. Resta, director of the University of Texas at Austin’s Learning Technology Center,
framed the digital-equity challenge as one of providing not just technologies, but "digital
opportunities," for students. Resta listed six things that he called "essential conditions"
for digital inclusion:
(1) basic literacy skills;
(2) access to information and communications technology (ICT) devices, software,
and connectivity;
(3) access to culturally relevant content in the student's local language;
(4) the ability to create, share, and exchange digital content;
(5) access to educators who know how to use digital tools and resources in
pedagogically sound ways; and
(6) access to effective leadership in policy and planning.
