The Unseen Digital Divide: Urban, Suburban, and Rural Teacher Use and Perceptions of Web-Based Classroom Technologies

Erik Kormos · 2018 · Computers in the Schools

Summary. A survey of 2,200 teachers across rural, suburban, and urban schools in a Mid-Atlantic state found significant differences in technology use and perceived effectiveness of web-based classroom tools. Urban teachers used and perceived web-based technologies as less effective than their suburban and rural counterparts. Suburban teachers rated technology effectiveness highest, followed by rural teachers. The findings suggest urban schools need targeted support to improve technology integration.
