Rural Schools and the Digital Divide
Summary. Rural teachers use various educational technology tools but lack formal training, relying instead on trial and error to learn new systems. Budget constraints emerge as the primary barrier to technology adoption, followed by students' limited home internet access. Teachers hold mixed views on technology effectiveness. The study recommends strategies for administrators and educators to better integrate appropriate tools and improve student learning outcomes.
