//According to Kelly, "If teachers are to help bridge this digital divide it is important that they understand its nature, pedagogical practices that contribute to its creation and maintenance, and instructional strategies for narrowing it." //  1. Work with your administrators for the support of having after-school access to school ICT (information and communication technology).    2. Work with parents and other people involved in the community to find public ICT facilities.    <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">3. Develop strategies to respond to problems students may encounter at public ICT facilities. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4.

The following video provides other opportunities to locate technology resources for the classroom and the importance technology plays throughout a students academic career.
