Equal Access to the Digital World

     These days, technical literacy is just as important to master as English and math.  That's why I believe every student should have access to a wide variety of digital learning resources and experiences.  Digital learning prepares students for the future.  Whether you go on to college or join the work force, you will be required to have basic skills in digital communication and collaboration.  I feel the lack of technology in schools is holding students back.  Most of you use technology outside of school to create learning experiences.  Why not use it in school, as well?
     Digital access for everyone means we can take learning into our own hands and create our own personal learning experiences.  There are so many different learning resources, tools, and applications available and we can use them to collaborate and communicate with one another as well.  You can even ask an expert besides the teacher for help with lessons!  In fact, digital access gives us the ability to extend learning beyond the classroom to almost anywhere in the world.  Best of all, it gives learners of every type an equal chance to learn in a functional environment that provides lessons, means of expression, and means of engagement in multiple ways.
