10. How Do We Define the Digital Divide?
11. Digital Divide “America’s Digital Divide is fast becoming a ‘racial ravine.’ It is now one of America’s leading economic and civil rights issues and we have to take concrete steps to redress the gap between the
haves and have nots.”
--Department of Commerce for Telecommunications August 1999
12. “The lack of technology access and skills puts disadvantaged members of our society increasingly at risk of becoming disenfranchised spectators of a digital world that is passing them by, bit by bit.”
--Milliron and Miles, CEO & COO League for Innovation November/December 2000

21. 1. Community colleges should review the curriculum and pedagogies used in the classroom to ensure that all students develop technology literacy and the ability to adapt quickly to change
22. 2. Community colleges should develop strategic plans to enhance and continuously improve the issue of technology in learning and teaching processes
23. 3. Community colleges should provide opportunities for all members of the faculty and staff to use computers, the Internet, and other emerging technologies
24. 4. Community Colleges should seek relationships with technology partners in their local business communities who will directly and indirectly benefit from technologically literate employee prospects
25. 5. Community Colleges should facilitate explorations of how the issues of growing minority enrollments, limited access to technology, and increasing requirements for technology and change savvy will likely impact them in the future
26. 6. Community Colleges should strengthen their occupational and other short-cycle offerings to continue to prepare their growing number of information technology workers needed in the new economy
27. 7. Community Colleges should create venues, on their own or with partners, where all students can access computers and the Internet on and off campus.
28. 8. Community Colleges should work with K-12 school systems to facilitate the professional development of teachers in the use of technology in learning and teaching processes
29.
