Day 13: 300!
We hit 300 posts last night with the survey. I am quite happy with the results, and hope that more come pouring in over the next week or so that we have left. I've been doing my literature review, which talks about equity, but came upon this quote in one book full of case studies on technology use in education in America:
"Recommendation #1: Focus computer use on students who will benefit most; don’t dilute the value of computers by insisting that all students have equal access."
That's kind of an interesting tactic to take about it, but he does explain it quite a bit. Something to think about... opinions?

Ok, so because there's a student in a low income neighbourhood, they shouldn't have access to a computer because they'll end up in a gang or poor or something? Following the same logic, maybe students who come from a high-income family shouldn't have access to computers either because they'll be rich and won't have to worry about working. I vote for equal access for everyone.
