What is Digital Access?
Digital Access is being aware of the availability of technology in your area. Teachers should be aware of the availability of technology in their community and those who may or may not have access, at home as well as at school. They are responsible for providing options for lessons and assignments for students that may not have access to certain technology at home. They should also provide resources of locations in the community with free access to technology and the Internet.
