This story offers a look at the "Digital Divide", the wide disparities between the technologically advanced and those at a significant disadvantage. Case studies of Houston and Pittsburgh public schools highlight some of the wide differences in access to technology, even in the same school district.

The methods of teaching, too, significantly alter the benefits students receive.
