    ECOMP 7011 Bridging Technology Gaps

     This course looks at the reasons that there are significant student disparities in performance with, and access to, technology. These disparities are along gender, economic, class, and cultural lines. In this course students will investigate existing on-the-ground strategies to redress these "divides" in the classroom, in the community, and nationally. Students will also explore curriculum and teaching techniques to broaden technology's appeal and engage more students in expanding their learning opportunities by using technology.
