What about those who can’t?

I am following the conference on twitter with some relish and it is such a useful tool for this purpose. It is fantastic that our educational establishment are considering and facing head on the issue of responsible use of the internet and mobile technology. How technology is used productively in education is an exciting topic. However I am concerned about those students who haven’t the ability or resources to access many of the applications being considered. We ignore this issue at our peril. I would be very interested on any thoughts regarding this issue.
