The Connected Learning Alliance released an intriguing report today entitled From Good Intentions to Real Outcomes— Equity by Design in Learning Technologies. In a bit of a teaser, authors Justin Reich and Mimi Ito puncture what they see as three myths about integrating tech in school. Most interesting to me is the contention that technology will not be the ultimate solution for digital equity: “The third myth is that digital divides can be closed through providing technology access. As complex and challenging as it is to create systems where every young person can use a functioning, modern computer with reliable broadband connection, these are only first steps toward digital parity.” Dig in! —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
