  • While digital learning can infuse an exciting variety of technological resources into the classroom, many students lack the basic understanding and skills to maximize the academic potential of today’s technology.
  • experts came together to discuss ways to overcome what’s been dubbed a “second-level digital divide” in students’ abilities to use digital resources.
  • governments and schools need to make complimentary adjustments in digital readiness to help the population they serve use the tools that they’re pushing at them.”
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • greater access doesn’t necessarily correlate to mastery of the technology.
  • The study found that 29% of Americans had low levels of ‘digital readiness,’ and that as many as 70 million Americans are not ‘digitally ready’ for online use.
  • how do you produce quality homework if you do not know how to properly research information available on the Internet?
  • the best way to overcome this divide is for educators to incorporate technology into their curriculums so that students can learn from a young age how to harness the academic potential of digital resources.
  • even while technology use in schools may be on the rise, students still lack the necessary digital readiness needed to not only succeed in school, but be prepared for a society that’s rapidly becoming more digitally centered.
  • The world has lost its patience with those who can’t navigate the online world. And because those folks who cannot navigate the online world are typically uneducated, poor, or otherwise vulnerable, this group is really easy to overlook.”

  • What they discovered was that children who are, themselves, highly engaged make more math growth if their classmates are also highly engaged.
  • "[H]ighly engaged students in highly engaged classrooms showed the largest achievement growth in math,"
  • As for students with lower levels of engagement, they also do better in highly engaged classrooms. It's just that it makes less of a difference for them. And this can have long-term consequences.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • "Lower individual engagement means that a given student will be slower to acquire essential math skills," Robinson and Mueller write. "Since these skills affect one's ability to learn more advanced math skills in subsequent grades, the combination of low individual engagement and low classroom engagement may lead to substantial achievement differences compared to highly engaged children in highly engaged classrooms by the end of kindergarten."
