The Digital Divide in Classroom Technology Use: A Comparison of Three Schools
While concerns about the “digital divide,” or access to technology, remain relevant for many schools, we do not yet fully know how often-expensive education technologies are employed across school contexts. In particular, few studies exist that evaluate how teacher beliefs about student social class and race-ethnicity, as well as institutional perceptions of the value of new technologies, inform everyday teacher practices with such technologies. Classroom observation and interviews were conducted with 5 teachers across three elementary schools that vary by race and class. Results indicated that teachers at middle/upper class schools encouraged dynamic uses of interactive whiteboards, while in the low-income school they functioned like traditional blackboards. Findings suggest that teacher beliefs and institutional perceptions inform how technologies are used in the classroom. In particular, beliefs about the meaning of student race and social class, as well as institutional goals for implementing new technologies, inform the extent to which students are granted agency to learn with new technologies
L’apprentissage connecté à l’école aux États-Unis
Aux États-Unis, les Ă©coles se prĂ©parent Ă enseigner les littĂ©raties technologiques importantes au xxie siècle. De nouveaux paradigmes thĂ©oriques, comme l’« apprentissage connecté », stipulent que les technologies numĂ©riques fournissent des supports essentiels pour l’apprentissage, alors que les jeunes s’adonnent Ă leurs intĂ©rĂŞts en ligne, entre eux. MalgrĂ© la capacitĂ© de partager et de collaborer offerte par de nombreuses plateformes nouvelles, ce sont les Ă©tablissements qui fixent les règles d’utilisation. L’auteur montre comment deux Ă©tablissements utilisant la mĂŞme technologie innovante proposent deux approches diffĂ©rentes de l’apprentissage connectĂ©. Les Ă©coles doivent s’assurer que les jeunes sont tout Ă la fois autorisĂ©s et encouragĂ©s Ă ĂŞtre eux-mĂŞmes des acteurs, lorsqu’ils font des expĂ©riences d’apprentissage sur les nouvelles plateformes technologiques.Schools in the United States are poised to teach important 21st-century technology literacies. New theoretical paradigms like “connected learning” argue that digital technologies provide essential supports for learning as young people pursue their interests online among peers. Despite the capacity for sharing and collaboration on many new platforms, schools set the terms of their use. The author shows how two schools using the same innovative technology offer two different approaches to connected learning. Schools must ensure that young people are both allowed and encouraged to be agents as they pursue learning experiences on new technology platforms.En Estados Unidos, las escuelas se preparan para enseñar las alfabetizaciones tecnolĂłgicas importantes en el siglo XXI. Unos nuevos paradigmas teĂłricos, como el “aprendizaje conectado” estipulan que las tecnologĂas digitales proporcionan unos soportes esenciales para el aprendizaje mientras que los jĂłvenes se dedican a sus intereses en lĂnea entre sĂ. A pesar de la capacidad de compartir y de colaborar brindada por numerosas plataformas nuevas, son los establecimientos los que fijan las reglas de utilizaciĂłn. El autor muestra cĂłmo dos establecimientos que utilizan la misma tecnologĂa innovadora proponen dos aproximaciones diferentes del aprendizaje conectado. Las escuelas deben asegurarse de que los jĂłvenes son a la vez autorizados y animados a convertirse en actores cuando hacen experiencias de aprendizaje sobre las nuevas plataformas tecnolĂłgicas

The Digital Divide in Classroom Technology Use: A Comparison of Three Schools
Mientras que las preocupaciones sobre la "brecha digital", o el acceso a la
tecnologĂa, siguen siendo relevantes para muchas escuelas, todavĂa desconocemos
completamente cĂłmo la, a menudo costosa, educaciĂłn en nuevas tecnologĂas se
emplea en los contextos escolares. Existen pocos estudios que evalĂşen cĂłmo las
opiniones del profesorado respecto la clase social y la etnia de los estudiantes, o la
percepciĂłn institucional del valor de las nuevas tecnologĂas, influyen en las prácticas
docentes diarias con estas tecnologĂas. Se realizaron entrevistas y observaciones de
aula con cinco profesores en tres escuelas primarias que varĂan en raza y clase. Los
resultados indicaron que los maestros en las escuelas de clase media/alta alentaron el
uso dinámicos de pizarras interactivas, mientras que en la escuela de bajos ingresos
funcionaron con pizarras tradicionales. Los resultados sugieren que las creencias del
profesorado creencias y las percepciones institucionales influyen en cĂłmo se utilizan
las tecnologĂas en el aula. En particular, las creencias acerca del significado de la
raza y clase social del estudiante, asĂ como los objetivos institucionales para la
implementaciĂłn de nuevas tecnologĂas, influyen en a la medida en la que se
conceden ayudas para que los estudiantes aprendan con nuevas tecnologĂas.While concerns about the “digital divide,” or access to technology, remain relevant for many schools, we do not yet fully know how often-expensive education technologies are employed across school contexts.

Pédagogie et révolution numérique
La nĂ©cessitĂ© d’intĂ©grer les technologies de l’information et de la communication dans l’éducation est devenue une Ă©vidence autant qu’un enjeu majeur dans le processus d’acquisition de connaissances et de compĂ©tences, partout dans le monde. Ce constat n’est cependant pas sans interrogations. Le numĂ©rique permet-il aux Ă©lèves de mieux apprendre et aux professeurs de mieux enseigner ? Conduit-il Ă un renouvellement des pratiques pĂ©dagogiques et Ă une redĂ©finition du mĂ©tier d’enseignant ? En quoi modifie-t-il le rĂ´le de l’école ? Pour contribuer Ă cette rĂ©flexion, le numĂ©ro 67 de la Revue internationale d’éducation de Sèvres propose d’interroger neuf contextes extrĂŞmement diffĂ©rents, de l’Angleterre Ă la CorĂ©e du Sud, en passant par les États-Unis, l’Australie, l’Éthiopie, le NigĂ©ria, l’Argentine, les Pays-Bas et la France. Les analyses prĂ©sentĂ©es portent aussi bien sur des observations de classe et des projets d’établissement que sur des enquĂŞtes ou la prĂ©sentation de politiques et de plans d’action mis en Ĺ“uvre au niveau national. Ces Ă©tudes de cas sont complĂ©tĂ©es par une Ă©tude bibliographique qui prĂ©sente un Ă©tat de la littĂ©rature rĂ©cente sur ce sujet. Cette variĂ©tĂ© de situations analysĂ©es apporte un Ă©clairage original sur les Ă©volutions en cours. Tous les auteurs soulignent l’importance de la responsabilitĂ© confiĂ©Ă©e aux enseignants et aux Ă©tablissements pour intĂ©grer le numĂ©rique dans l’éducation. Les pays les plus avancĂ©s sur ce sujet sont ceux oĂą l’on a repensĂ© la pĂ©dagogie, sans hĂ©siter Ă remettre en question le fonctionnement du système Ă©ducatif. Across the world, the need to integrate information and communication technologies into education has become self-evident as well as a major factor in the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Yet this observation raises questions. Do digital technologies enable pupils to learn better and teachers to teach better? Do they lead to a renewal of pedagogical practices and a redefinition of teaching? How do they alter the role of school? To begin answering these questions, issue 67 of the Revue internationale d’éducation de Sèvres examines nine radically different contexts, from England to South Korea by way of the United States, Australia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Netherlands and France. The analyses draw on classroom observations, school initiatives and surveys and present policies and action plans implemented at national level. These case studies are accompanied by an annotated bibliography that provides a summary of recent literature on the subject. The variety of situations analysed provides an original perspective on the changes that are underway. The authors all underline the importance of the responsibility conferred to teachers and schools in integrating digital technologies into education. The most advanced countries in this area are those that have reconsidered pedagogy while examining the functioning of the education system. La necesidad de integrar las tecnologĂas de la informaciĂłn y de la comunicaciĂłn en la educaciĂłn se ha convertido tanto en una evidencia como en un reto mayor de adquisiciĂłn de conocimientos y de competencias en el mundo entero. Dicha constataciĂłn conlleva no pocas interrogaciones. ÂżPermite lo digital que los alumnos aprendan mejor y que los profesores enseñen mejor ? ÂżConduce a una renovaciĂłn de las prácticas pedagĂłgicas y a una redefiniciĂłn del oficio de profesor ? ÂżEn quĂ© modifica el papel de la Escuela ? Para dar algunos elementos de respuesta a estas preguntas, el nĂşmero 67 de la Revue internationale d’éducation de Sèvres propone interrogar nueve contextos sumamente diferentes, desde Inglaterra hasta Corea del Sur, pasando por Estados Unidos, Argentina, Australia, EtiopĂa, Nigeria, PaĂses Bajos y Francia. Estos análisis tratan tanto de las observaciones de clases y de los proyectos de establecimiento como de las encuestas o de la presentaciĂłn de polĂticas y de los planes de acciĂłn puestos en obra a nivel nacional. Un estudio bibliográfico que establece un estado de la literatura reciente sobre este tema viene completando estos estudios de caso. La variedad de situaciones analizadas echa una luz original sobre las evoluciones actuales. Todos los autores subrayan la importancia de la responsabilidad dada a los docentes y a los establecimientos para integrar lo digital en la educaciĂłn. Los paĂses más avanzados en este tema son los que han reexaminado la pedagogĂa interrogando al mismo tiempo el funcionamiento del sistema educativo
