Access

Access:
 * Make sure all students have access to the technology inside and outside of the classroom.
 * Pair students who do not have access with those who do so the technology is spread out.
 * Use a wikispace to provide equal access and materials to all students.
 * Give ample time in class for students to use technology if it is heavily required.

Issues with school districts and access: Mr. Ryder believes that there is still a lot of fear amongst some school districts as to the true effectiveness of Laptops and other high-end technology in the classroom. A lot of people on the school board will argue that they are only a distraction from education. There is a bit of truth to this as there are __some__ students who will occasionally play games or go to other sites. However, Mr. Ryder shows his classes that if they misuse the technology that has been given to them, it WILL be taken away. As a result many of Mr. Ryder's students use the technology to create amazing projects.
