    Pew internet and american life project. While not directly related to our SIG, this site has a VAST wealth of information from some of the research that the Pew center is doing relating to the internet and technology usage. I posted it here because it might be a good source of statistics for anyone who needs them. For example, statistics on Americans' broadband access might be useful in discussing the digital divide.

  • For kids to be given a fair shake in a modern economy, they are going to have to be computer literate,” Fowles adds. “Kids who aren’t will be at a terrible disadvantage, especially America’s poor children. And for many of them, school is the only place they’ll have the chance to learn it.”

    This article begins with an anecdote illustrating some creative IT solutions to digital divide problems. It goes on to examine the changing definition of the digital divide, examining some statistics about computers in schools and minority use of the internet and technology. The second-to-last section is specifically about mobile devices in classrooms. Interesting examples of these concepts at work. Sig 1 Context: Divide, byod, mobile

flipped differentiated divide

  • If Bennett’s assertion is true, that what matters are “the relationships, the discussions, and the experiences,” then the flipped classroom provides an effective use of classroom time to build relationships, engage in serious discussions, and provide meaningful experiences for all learners. And let’s not forget one more advantage. The flipped classroom allows more time for student interaction with the teacher. The disadvantage comes when a student does not have access to the technology — an iPad or the Internet to watch instructional apps or videos.  But we predict the flipped classroom will prove its effectiveness with better test scores and enthusiastic learners.  Then schools will be compelled to find ways to give all kids this advantage.

It also briefly touches on digital divide questions in the last paragraph. This article really helped me imagine what a flipped classroom would look, or feel, like.
