Computer equity is the equal opportunity for each individual to use a computer and learn the same subjects at the same level. Every community has some aspect of computer inequity, be it based on gender, income level, race, age, academic achievement, geography, or subject matter. The community activist who wants to promote equal access to computers can begin by collecting evidence of computer inequities and predictions of the importance of technology in present and future job markets. The next steps involve taking the evidence to potentially concerned people in the community, and forming a committee to serve as voice and clearinghouse for the issue. Committee projects could focus on fund raising, teacher training, school curriculum changes, development of computer coordinator networks with other schools and communities, collecting information on software appropriate for schools, staging a local computer fair with the accent on equity and ease of use, and increasing community access to computers and home use. The tip sheet includes questions to consider when seeking evidence of local computer inequity, suggestions for implementing each step of the campaign, and a list of major fact resources. (SV)
