The Digital Divide
The integration of technology into teaching is a process that faces a variety of challenges. Scholars have focused on what has been called the digital divide to highlight the ways social realities limit access to technology. Vie expands on this idea with what she calls the Digital Divide 2.0, which suggests that educators have not been able to keep up with the expanding potential of modern technology. She explains that modern literacy practices require educators, particularly in composition and writing classrooms, need to "familiarize themselves" with common technologies like social networks.
