About the Need contd
  • Computers at school
  • A far higher percentage of Hispanic (39) and
    Black (45) children rely solely on schools to
    use computers than do Asian and Pacific Islanders
    (11) and White children (15).
  • More than twice as many children from
    single-parent families use computers only at
    schools as do children in two-parent families
    41 of children in female-headed households, 32
    in male-headed households, and 17 in households
    with two parents.

About the Need contd
  • In California
  • There are 10.1 students for every
    Internet-connected computer in Californias
    public schools, yet in high-poverty schools this
    figure jumps to 11.7 students per connected
    computer (national average is 6.8 and 8.1,
    respectively).
  • In 37 of schools in California, the majority of
    teachers (at least half) are "beginners" when it
    comes to using technology (national average is
    24). However, in high-poverty schools this
    number increases to 42 (national average is
    29).
