PROMPT

Create a VoiceThread presentation that includes:

• An explanation of the digital divide

• At least 3 different media types (video, image, audio, presentation, etc.)

• Also be sure to include graphs and charts that address the digital divide. There are numerous studies available that summarize the data into graphs.

• Income information on your County/Parish*

• Demographic information for your County/Parish*

• Simply doing a Google search with your zip code should provide you with enough pertinent information. If you are concerned with verifiability of information, try to stick to the US Census site.

• Identify and research two projects meant to address the digital divide and how you can see it impacting your students who might be affected by this in terms of school achievement and post-school job preparedness/readiness.

• An example would be Tech Together, a DC focused initiative to close the digital divide. Another may be Loon, from the Alphabet Group.
