"Digital Divide" a TV series available from PBS http://www.pbs.org/digitaldivide/about.html#series maybe of interest... Here is a description from the site: " DIGITAL DIVIDE is a two-part series for PBS that explores how the rapid spread of computer technology is affecting young people across the country. Narrated by Queen Latifah, the series asks the question: is everyone participating equally, if at all, in the Digital Revolution? And are "wired" kids being taught how to use computers in ways that enhance instead of replace traditional learning skills? Through interviews with innovators around the country who are bridging the digital divide in the classroom and in the streets, the series explores some of the best practices for using technology effectively at school and in the home. The series focuses on the many aspects of the digital divide, exploring how the issues plays out in terms of education, employment, race, and gender.
