Digital access means that everyone should have access to technology. Technology affects me tremendously, I use it for my homework to look up stuff and to write papers rather than write it down with a piece of paper and pencil. Also I use technology for entertainment. For example, I can play games online, watch videos, and talk to my friends and meet new people. It would affect my life a lot. I wouldn't be able to text my friends and ask questions. Also, I wouldn't be able to text or call my parents in case of an emergency or if I needed to be picked up early from somewhere. It would affect society a lot because maybe we wouldn't have as many bullies. A lot of people can go online and hide behind a computer screen and bully people. Digital divide is people who have access to computers and the internet, and those who don't. So in education it is students who do not have access to computers and the internet, and those who don't. I have internet access at my house so I use it to help me out with school and for entertainment use also. In Bacon Academy we have technology all around us and our teachers let us use our phones in class by using them for what we are learning. We have a library that has computers that are open to students to use during school and after. The effect that digital access has on a students academic growth are that they might not know as much as other students might. They might get more spelling mistakes because they don't have spell check. And there's a lot more information on the internet than one book.
