A Matter of Computer Time
Celano, Donna; Neuman, Susan B.
Phi Delta Kappan, v92 n2 p68-71 Oct 2010
Many low-income children do not have the opportunity to develop the computer skills necessary to succeed in our technological economy. Their only access to computers and the Internet--school, afterschool programs, and community organizations--is woefully inadequate. Educators must work to close this knowledge gap and to ensure that low-income children have access to information. (Contains 2 tables and 2 online resources.)
