Technological pedagogy for bridging digital divide #2 (access to achievement-enhancing TMI):

Kelly argues for reducing disparities in and out of school specific to technological mediated instruction (TMI) is the job of teachers. He suggests, in order to achieve this mandates that teachers meet the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) (p. 39). In doing so, he also proposes 1) teachers integrate technology into their pedagogy, and 2) schools dedicate the resources necessary for addressing the digital divide. In as much as addressing the use of technology as a means for increasing access to knowledge, Kelly contends that the educational arena must move away from ineffective practices that disengage students, e.g., drill and practice, defensive teaching, and using access to technology as a reward (pp. 40-41).
