K-12 Teachers: Technology Use and the Second Level Digital Divide
Reinhart, Julie M.; Thomas, Earl; Toriskie, Jeanne M.
Journal of Instructional Psychology, v38 n3 p181-193 2011
This exploratory study examines differences in K-12 educators' use of technology for instruction across school economic factors. Survey data from 94 practicing K-12 teachers are analyzed. This study finds that schools' economic factors explain variation in how teachers use technology to promote higher-order thinking skills. Our findings support the existence of a Second-Level Digital Divide. The study also identifies a need for access to technology facilitators, as well as in-service training for practicing teachers on how to use technology to promote higher-order thinking skills.
