Discussion Question

As classrooms move toward being more digital and less paper based, teachers will inevitably be faced with the issue of how to deal with the inequalities between the students who access to technology outside of the classroom and those who do not.  For me, I was excited to be able to assign digital homework and/or extend the digital learning and projects we'd been working on in class outside of the classroom.  However, I quickly realized that not all students had the ability to access digital content from home.  Because of this, I decided to limit the amount of digital homework I assigned to only once a week or so,  to allow students the option of doing the same assignment on paper (if possible), and having my classroom open both before and after school for students to come in and use Chromebooks to get the work done.  I am interested in hearing how others have addressed similar issues.  How are your (or your school/district) addressing the issue of digital inequality?
