Summary: This article was written by a former educational foundation manager. Teacher acknowledging that if computers were made assessable whenever needed be of great help to students and schools. It was written to let you know you understand how handy computers can be whenever they are needed.

Assess: This article was written by a former educational foundation manager. Yes, it’s accurate article published by Mark Sargent working on trying to close the digital divide between the schools with and those without technology. There is no other viewpoint on this article because he’s basically trying to make computers assessible to everyone with low-income or high-income schools.

Summary: This video is about trying to find ways to keep computers in schools of low-income school districts, so all the students have adequate access to technology. They will continue to find ways to keep computers in schools so the students have the technology skills needed. The teachers have the proper access to technology for their lesson plans.

Assess: The video was produced by an incredible source. Yes, it was produced by teachers and students in low-income school districts. Yes, I consider the video to being accurate because the teacher and students in the video have experienced the situation of the digital divide for themselves.

Reflect: I learned that children who have access to computers they have the more update information on a project or topic they may be learning about in class. Their homework and school projects are in more detail because of the different types of sources to use. My opinion that schools and children had great assistance from foundations and large community organizations, including public libraries, YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, and internet access stations. These organizations and many others have given these students and teachers in low-income school districts a better ability to be accommodated with the appropriate resources with as many of the computers needed to learn the technology skills needed throughout the school
