Listening to My Students: The Digital Divide
Susan Kirtley, Western Oregon University
This article reports on what a small group of students had to
say about class, access, and the digital divide. Drawing on a
research project composed of a survey of eight first-year
composition courses and the writings of a small group of students
enrolled in a “Writing and Technology” course, the results reveal
students commenting on a lack of access to computers, a lack they
often linked to socioeconomic class.
