Chapter 13, Question 2

Does technology contribute to some of the social and equity issues facing teachers and schools today? What are these issues?

I do believe that technology does contribute to some of the social and equity issues today. It is very import for teacher to provide equal access to computers for all students. The students that are not financial able to have a computer get less computer time. Also there is a very large concern about students being able to get to inappropriate sites. Schools take many precautions to prevent this type of thing from happening.

Chapter 9, Question 3

How will you schedule computer usage time for your students if the school has only one computer lab availiable.

I would have a computer time schedule set up for the entire class. I would have a block of time set for each student to be able to have some time in the computer lab. If my rule was that the students would only be able to visit the computer lab when they complete their work, some students would never be able to visit the lab. By making a set schedule every student will be able to spend some time in the computer lab.
