Overcoming the Digital Divide: Four Critical Steps. Literacy Leadership Brief
Rowsell, Jennifer; Morrell, Ernest; Alvermann, Donna
International Literacy Association
The notion of digital literacies suggests a world where people have constant access to technologies, apps, videos, and social media that allow for exploration, knowledge work, and connections between people. But this assumption is simply not the reality for many, particularly students. Their reality is the gap between the haves and have-nots, the cans and the cannots. The responsibility for overcoming the gap driven by the digital divide falls squarely on governments responsible for education policy to provide the necessary professional development and infrastructure to support what teachers and schools need. Advance equity for all students across the world with four immediately actionable steps presented in this report.
