DIGITAL DIVIDE!

There is a theory that the society has been divided itself between 2 groups:  “have” and “have nots” - and there is a kind of segregation them.  

 In fact, what really happens is: Economic enequalities cause this not accessibility for some products, services and knowlegments.

After the computers have been spread quickly is a cause of they are became cheaper to buy and easier to use. If the population gets a facility and opportunity to access it they really use it. The prices having been falling and this digital divide have been breaking down.                                           Now we are living a great moment: 

-How to introduce in an effective way computers into the public schools?

-Are the students and teachers prepared for it?

-How computing could turn it more friendly and effective?

-How training and coaching our teachers be implemented for this new technology in a day-by-day scholar program?

A Latin America foundation prepared a researched and found that there is 1 computer for each 25 students at the public chain schools. 

Some countries as Argentine, Chile and Uruguay are more updating.                       There is 1 computer for each 9 students.

Good number instead with Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela; 1 computer for each 19 students.

This numbers show up the challenger that the authorities must face up next years.

Prospects studies proved that implantation computing in schools produces gains in test scores. But more than it, each computer could provide a large number of info’s and attract students to effort interest in study again.

Computing skills produces a better development in student’s minds in all levels degrees. It´s necessary to introduce it since the primary school.

The digital divide suggested a simple solution for a poverty helping into society.

How most the students – poor classes at least – getting the contact with this new technology – they will could scape from poverty; giving them other opportunities and a new vision of the world.

This gap between high and low classes can be disappear when the society could integrate whole the knowledge information that having been connecting by internet and many educational software to teach and discute into a class room. Mainly at the public classes room.
