 * Step 3**: Reflect on the school in which you work or the schools that you have observed.
 * Are there “digital divides” involving technology occurring in these schools?
 * Are all students in the school being given the same opportunities to gain digital skills or is possible that some groups might never have access to technology during their entire school experience?
 * Is technology being used effectively in all classrooms?
 * How is the equipment being distributed?
 * How do the schools’ equipment and usage compare with the other schools in the district; other districts?


 * Step 4:** Through your readings and observations, compose a list of three Digital Divides occurring in schools today. Write an overview description of each “divide,” state what some of the probable causes are for this divide and provide a possible solution to bridge the “divide.” Each description, issue discussion and solution should be approximately 100-200 words.


 * Step 5:** Embed your list of three Digital Divides below and then go to the Discussion Forum on Topic6 StudentPage. Read and comment/provide feedback to two or more of your colleague’s postings.
