Information communication technologies (ICT) permeate almost every facet
of our daily business and have become an important priority for formal
and informal education. This places an enormous responsibility to
achieve equitable deployment of ICT on governments, education systems,
and communities. Important equity issues examined in this book include
gender issues, disability, digital divide, hardware and software
developments, and knowledge transfer. Previous books have tended to
concentrate on single aspects of equity and computer use; this book
fills the pressing need for a comprehensive look at the issues. Equity
and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is an
essential book for professionals involved in this emerging area of
study, and a useful text for undergraduate and graduate classrooms.
