Equitable Access

• Technologies for learning typically set learning goals for the learner. Technology for learning is created so that it can be utilized any student; it is meant to provide and measure dependable results. This type of technology guides the learner through the skill being acquired. The learners are in charge of the learning process when using technology made for learners; learners can set their own goals with this type of technology. Technologies for learners focuses on things like search engines, wikis and blogs. These technologies do not provide reliable outcomes; students may start with one goal and end with another.


• The current use of technology in schools creates equitable access for students because it is available for anyone to use. It does not matter if a child is a student at a public school, charter school, online school, or home schooled; it can be accessed through any computer. The current use of technology can create inequitable access for students because not all schools have the same resources. Technology requires money and adults who are knowledgeable and willing to implement technology into the curriculum.


• I would like to change the current system by ensuring proper training for teachers so that they are more capable of implementing technology. Teachers need to be willing and excited to use technology with their students and they need to understand how to use the technology available to them and how it can benefit their students.
