Digital Divide

  • Some concerns I may have for the Digital Divide include massive gap in learning, access to technology can impact a students education forever. Places in which technology is scarce can potentially cause a massive learning gap to occur. Here at Del Norte, we have a variety of options for technology however in Encinitas for example, there won't be advanced tech like at Del Norte.
