In this chapter, the authors take a broad perspective on how to analyze issues of technology and equity for youth in the United States. They begin with "access" as a starting point, but consider not only whether diverse groups of youth have digital media available to them but also how that access is supported or constrained by technological and social factors. From there they go on to the question of "use," analyzing the ways in which diverse youth deploy new media for education, social interaction, and entertainment. They then move to the question of "outcomes," considering the gains achieved by diverse groups through use of new media as measured by academic achievement, acquisition of 21st century learning skills, and participation in technology-related careers. Finally, they include one example--the disparities of involvement in computer science study--to illustrate how issues of access, use, and outcome are intertwined. (Contains 12 tables and 4 figures.)
