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.

Interview with Elliot Soloway of UofM. He predicts that every K-12 student will be using a handheld device in five years. He's a big advocate of cell phones as the way to go, and pretty down on tablets (expensive, fragile, locked). The biggest hurdle right now: access speed and reliability. This article connects byod and divide issues nicely Sig 1 context: byod, divide

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.
