The week we talked about the digital divide, something hit close to home. I attended Hoover High School (along with my younger brother and sister) and my mom works there. A few years ago they bought iPads for every student that connects to WiFi. The idea behind this was that they can now have their textbooks on the tablet and complete their work on there as well. Because of the accessibility, teachers have begun making homework due at night as well. This becomes a problem for students who don’t have access to WiFi at home. So for my Bizzarro Research “Paper” I created a Venn Diagram that illustrates many issues concerning the digital divide. While technology is a good thing, it also puts those without access to it at a MAJOR disadvantage when it comes to education, careers, and even day-to-day activities. So on to the next challenge…how do I spread the message and increase awareness of the digital divide? My first thought of course was to post it on all of the social media platforms, which I did. But then I thought, how am I going to reach the people who are affected by the digital divide and won’t see my social media pages? They need to be reached too. To solve this problem, I took the message back to where it started for me: Hoover High School. I have printed my Venn Diagram and will be setting the flyers out in my mom’s classroom to raise awareness of the divide in the place where I first noticed it.
This is my pin on Pinterest. 
My hashtag #digitaldivide linked it to all this –> 
and made it searchable for those interested in the subject. My tweet also sent the message to all my followers and gave them a source for more information.
