Pressure to teach to assessments Lack of resources or access to digital technologies among your students Lack of technical support to use digital technologies consistently All AP and NWP Teachers Students mostly lower income/ below poverty line Students mostly lower middle income Students mostly middle income Students mostly upper income 43% 50 47 37 38 40% 56 48 30 21 30% 35 33 24 28 Source: The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Online Survey of Teachers, March 7 to April 23, 2012, n=2,462 middle and high school teachers. Teachers must contend with the digital divide, though they disagree about the impact disparate access to digital tools is having on their students AP and NWP teachers must also contend with the wider digital divide that exists across communities and households in the U.S., and survey results indicate these teachers see disparities in access to digital tools having at least some impact on their students. Asked how many of their students have sufficient access, both at home and in school, to the digital tools they need to effectively complete school assignments, more than half of these teachers (54%) say that all or almost all of their students have sufficient access to these tools in school. However, where home access is concerned, just 18% say all or almost all of their students have access to the digital tools they need. p e winter n e t .o r g 42

Not surprisingly, teachers of the lowest income students are the least likely to say their students have sufficient access both IN SCHOOL and AT HOME to the digital tools they need. In terms of community type, teachers in urban areas are the least likely to say their students have sufficient access to digital tools IN SCHOOL, while rural teachers are the least likely to say their students have sufficient access AT HOME. 54% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% p e winter n e t .o r g 43 27% 26% 15% 5% 2%
