I teach reading to third grade students in a South Florida Title 1 school. Most of the students attending my school come from low income families. 98% of the students enrolled in my school are on free or reduced price lunch, or fall within the near poverty guidelines. Many of the students in my school come from homes where parents do not speak the English language. Many of the students do not have Internet or computers at home. The only place where they are exposed to technology is at school. The students must become familiar with using technology because standardized tests are becoming computer based. Without the exposure to technology our students are disadvantaged compared to other students who are exposed to technology on a daily basis.
