Equitable distribution of computer resources is an important concern for school administrators. Computer equity consists of three dimensions: access, participation, and benefits. Access is the number of microcomputers available for student use, or the ratio of students to computers; equity issues arise when access to computers is restricted to certain schools, grade or ability levels, or to certain classes, such as advanced math. Participation is the average amount of computer time allotted to student use; inequities can result if free time usage is dominated by boys or high achieving students. Benefits are the kinds of activities students engage in when using the computer; the assumption that learning to program is preferable to drill and practice or word processing leads to inequities in educational benefits. A list of 12 barriers to equitable computer access and use is included, as well as suggestions for evaluating equity problems. Strategies for solving computer equity problems are suggested, and a list of references completes the document. (JB)
