I definitely can see where there is a digital divide.  There is a lack of professional development in the area of technology for teachers, there is a lack of internet access in the homes of our students, and there is a deficiency of computer access within the school.  In order to educate this generation of students, teachers need to be provided with the time and resources adequate for professional development.  It is not fair for teachers to be expected to implement technology into their curriculum without being given the time to be trained.  Furthermore, those students without equal access to technology will have a much more difficult time succeeding in college and in the workplace. 

     It is important for teachers to take it upon themselves to educate each other about technolgy and pull from available resources.  Technology standards need to be implemented at the local, state, and national levels.  Teachers should be held accountable for ensuring that technology is integrated into the standard course of study.  Students need to be exposed to updated and functional equipment.  Implementing the one to one computing could also be something that every district could strive for.  There is more than one avenue we must take in order to work to bridge the digital divide.
