The digital divide is the disconnection between those with access to technology and those without. The digital divide disproportionately impacts those living in low-income homes. Students with limited access to technology at home come to school with less background knowledge of technology. Students with a better and deeper understanding of technology will be able to take advantage of it and can concentrate on using it to build new knowledge.
