Tierney, William G., Ed.; Corwin, Zoë B., Ed.; Ochsner, Amanda, Ed. – Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018
Many schools and programs in low-income neighborhoods lack access to the technological resources, including equipment and Internet service, that those in middle- and upper-income neighborhoods have at their fingertips. This inequity creates a persistent digital divide--not a simple divide in access to technology per se, but a divide in both formal…
