  • The global digital divide is a special case of the digital divide, the focus is set on the fact that "Internet has developed unevenly throughout the world" [7] causing some countries to fall behind in technology, education, labor, democracy, and tourism. The concept of the digital divide was originally popularized in regard to the disparity in Internet access between rural and urban areas of the United States of America; the global digital divide mirrors this disparity on an international scale.

  • The term digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology and those with very limited or no access at all. It includes the imbalances in physical access to technology as well as the imbalances in resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen. In other words, it is the unequal access by some members of society to information and communication technology, and the unequal acquisition of related skills. The term is closely related to the knowledge divide as the lack of technology causes lack of useful information and knowledge. The digital divide may be classified based on gender, income, and race groups, and by locations.[1] The term global digital divide refers to differences in technology access between countries or the whole world.

    used for teaching fair use to students "these clips allow students to practice explaining why something is fair use" "you could divide the class into groups and have every group discuss the same scenario and then come back together to see if groups agree. Or you could divide up the class and give every group a difference scenario to discuss. The groups could then report back and see if their classmates agree or disagree with them. Finally, you could choose one scenario and divide the class in half. Have one group argue for fair use and one argue against fair use. Whose argument is stronger and what does the class ultimately believe is the right answer? " "Have them give any and all arguments that they think explain why the video is fair use. "

  • Some teachers are trying to use digital literacy in there classrooms daily to try to help students become involved. Our teachers use overhead projectors, smartboards, and televisions.Many of us use computers in our classes. If we do not learn how to use computers we could soon be separated by the digital divide. The digital divide could end up leaving some of us jobless. We need to be able to use all of the technology we have access to so we can succeed. In a article called "Digitally addicted kids threaten to return to civilization to the dark ages" a girl named Megan Meier committed suicide due to Cyber bullying. A kid named Josh Evans did this, who later turned out to be Megan's ex boyfriends mom Lori Drew. There are so many examples of digital literacy. We use them in everyday life. We use computers all the time, don’t we? I know if you work in an office then you do. Also, Teens are in love with text messages, although text messaging can be very harmful. While texting you could be bullying someone. Like I said before about computers, not only do business people use them, but parents and teens, and maybe some younger children. Teens get in chat rooms all the time. Some probably don’t even know what they are getting into. In chat rooms people can be pushed to do something or even be bullied. Chat rooms and the use of text messaging can be harmful.

  • Access is a very important thing in life. The ten most important terms that have to do with Access are: connect, internet, access, obtain, retrieve, regain and gate way which all mean that there is or you can access something although in particular, the internet.
  • Identity is a topic that people may not think about as access. Although it is. Identity can be shown on the computer or on the internet. When you have access to the internet your identity can be shown through various ways for example, Facebook and MySpace through profiles, pictures and the network. It is a positive thing because now you can show your identity to other people around the world.

  • Digital Divide is probably the most important and simplest topic
  • They can get internet on computers by joining a local wi-fi like at a coffee shop, at school, or at a business. Digital Access is how everyday people access their computers and the Internet.
  • 72% of U.S. adults now have Broadband access. Those who don't get it go to work, public libraries, schools, and as well as on their cell phones.
  • mostly go to websites that have games for kids to play. Millsberry, Build a bear, Webkinz, and Club penguin are all places that children could create their own animated avatar type stuff
  • Censorship is when you are not allowed to do something and if you do you will be in trouble by the government. For example, in China they have censorship and they are not allowed to look certain things up on the internet
  • Digital Divide is basically having a line and putting the people that don’t have access to the internet on one side and the ones that do on the other side.

While the man responsible for tormenting the Canadian teenager was a creep and a bully, since an adult was involved then it technically wasn't cyberbullying, according to Stop cyberbullying.

    The study shows that everything from iPods to smartphones to tablet computers are now a regular part of kids' lives, with kids under 8 averaging two hours a day with all screen media. Among the key findings: 42% of children under 8 years old have a television in their bedroom. Half (52%) of all 0- to 8-year-olds have access to a new mobile device, such as a smartphone, video iPod, or iPad/tablet. More than a third (38%) of children this age have used one of these devices, including 10% of 0-to 1-year-olds, 39% of 2- to 4-year-olds, and more than half (52%) of 5- to 8-year-olds. In a typical day, one in 10 (11%) 0- to 8-year-olds uses a smartphone, video iPod, iPad, or similar device to play games, watch videos, or use other apps. Those who do such activities spend an average of 43 minutes a day doing so. In addition to the traditional digital divide, a new "app gap" has developed, with only 14% of lower-income parents having downloaded new media apps for their kids to use, compared to 47% of upper-income parents. Clearly, media has become a staple in young kids' daily lives and influences them in ways we don't yet fully understand. But by getting involved in your kid's media life, you can help them create healthy lifelong patterns that will truly make a difference in their lives
