In past decades, the "digital divide" referred to the gap between those who could afford access to technology and those who could not. The divide has shifted in recent years to reflect the growing technological chasm between teachers and their students: today's schools and teenagers' worlds. The digital divide is widening and deepening exponentially each year, creating schools as outdated to teenagers as a Model T assembly plant is to modern industry. To "mind the (technology) gap" between schools and youth, educators must recognize changing conditions and adjust instruction in ways that help students prepare for an information-rich future rather than an industrial past. Although the shopping list for schools to move into the world of technology is long, and the costs are staggering, the payback in student learning is worth the effort school leaders put into funding and supporting professional development and hardware for expanding instructional technology.
