Reflection:
My research on the digital divide in education presented glaring differences among multiple socioeconomic statuses. Shockingly after reading and researching the correlations to those in more affluent areas achieving greater likelihood of academic success is hard to argue against. The project presented a lot of unknowns, and I was completely out of my comfort zone with this type of presentation, yet I believe this mode of communication to share information is highly effective, especially in a higher education or profession setting.
Investigate the digital divide and its impact on learning.
Consider how location, race, and income impact access.
Deepened my understanding of the demographics in Illinois.
Identify efforts to support high need areas and programs with a lack of access to technologies.
