Funding differences between rich and poor school districts are substantial and result in less access to educational technology for low-income and minority students. We're doing okay because at least we're exposing those kids to some form of technology.
All students are more or less equal in their ability to benefit from computer-based curricula.
Often unconscious stereotyping on the part of educators keep them from challenging minority, low-income students and female academically. Within schools, research shows that different groups of students use the computer in different ways. This indicates that school staff play a role in perpetuating inequities. Or, they need computing activities that are fundamentally different from others students. The primary benefit of computers for low-achieving students is mastery of basic skills.
