This section of the reading was entitled "Real and Perceived Barriers to Student Internet Use at and for School." One of its main focuses was the debate on whether or not teachers should assign homework based on internet activities due to the fact that internet availability outside of the classroom is not equal for all students. While this can definitely present a problem, I think that teachers could work something out at the beginning of the school year to help avoid the issue. For example, teachers could have students fill out a survey on whether or not they have internet access at home so that teachers have a better idea of how easily their students will be able to use the internet. For those students that do not have access, teachers could try to assist the students in finding other ways to access the internet.
