9 Elements
Overview
Digital Access
An increasing number of people believe that is it important that all citizens (local and global) have sufficient access to technology, or they may be at a disadvantage when working in the "real world". Some questions that may arise from the topic of Digital Access may include:
- How do all citizens gain access to technology instead of few or many?
- Whose responsibility is it to ensure access is provided and available?
- How do students receive access to technology in appropriate learning settings at school?
- Do those who have special needs or interests have access to the technology needed that best helps them learn?
- Should high speed internet be considered a basic human right or human need in today's society?
- Are those citizens (local and global) who do not have access disadvantaged in any way?
Digital Access represents: hardware, internet access as well as access to software needed for creativity, productivity and function.
