The authors make a great point. That all students can have access, bridging that equity gap. While I know those groups are still behind, it is getting better with the affordability of computers and the accessibility to get internet or find locations like local libraries to use internet for free. These types of tools help those students if they are aware they exist. Sun, 24 Jan 2021 10:59:39 -0500 Reading this book, I was looking for an author to bring up the risks and challenges. I was glad to see this author address them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2287918 https://nowcomment.com/documents/132976?scroll_to=2287918 Everything isn't without risks or challenges but I wanted to know what they were considering I am not familiar with online affinity networks. I have my own children and while they may benefit from this tool, I wanted to know the risks considering the lack of face to face interaction. The authors insights on those made me aware that all areas have some risk and being aware of them can help make those experiences less worrisome. Wed, 24 Nov 2021 06:13:04 -0500
