    "Institutions are “perpetuating rather than resisting inequalities associated with the digital divide,” says Joanna Goode, professor of education studies at the University of Oregon and author of a new study published online in the journal New Media and Society. “I found that high-school opportunities around technology really shape students’ abilities to engage fully in university academic life,” Goode says. “If students don’t have experiences in high school, they show up for college ill-prepared to have a variety of choices about which directions to go in their scholarship."

    This is why my 11 year old daughter has a netbook. My children may not inherit great math skills from me but they will be digitally savvy.
