The Digital Divide: Where we are today?
The Digital Divide describes the gap between individual and communities with regard access to the technology resources. The article presents some data depends on the census for 2002 in terms of increasing the number of internet users. About 2 million new internet users enrolle every month, and approximately 54% of population has an access to the internet.
I would like to comment a little bit on this site which is considered as a very rich website, and contains many detailed articles, in-depth studies, research summary, instructional modules, and link to hundreds of relevant resources. In addition to, this site offers video gallery includes hundreds of short documentary segments which covers a variety of topics. Furthermore, there are many links which are very significant for teachers such as: teacher's preparations, lesson plans, and integrating technology into the classroom. Many valuable ideas very applicable as new activities to be given to students during group work as a preparation for project presentation.
Some strong points in this website: first, it contains many valuable resources as I mentioned through my comments. Second, video library presents very unique discussions with expertise in education arena in many important issues such as assessments, group work, integrated technology into classroom, and more. By viewing and watching these videos, we will gain powerful experience from high professional experts. We can adopt some of these ideas and attempting to apply them in our schools. In addition, by reviewing many of ideal lesson plans which are well prepared, it will help novice teachers to know the technique of forming and building successful lesson plan.
The main weak point in this website, it is not dealing with language, and concentrates more on education and improving the students' performance which is based on understanding not memorizing.
