 Slide #2: Why is this issue a global one? What is the main problem? Answer: The digital divide is a global issue because there is a 'divide' between the people who have technology and don't. That 'divide' causes lack of education leading to poverty leading to even more digital divide. Without technology meaning without computers or laptops, without cellphones, without immediate connection with anyone except the people sitting next to you. Imagine going back to the days of the pony express or even earlier. The people without technology feel like that. The problem is that they're not 'in' the modern world. While others have connection to all types of new technology, they haven't seen a computer yet. As the world globalizes, this gap will become even bigger so before the digital divide gets any worse, our organization is trying to help it now. (: Slide #4: How is this issue affecting the world? Answer: This issue is a problem almost anywhere in the world. The digital divide affects most of Africa but in countries like America and China, there is digital divide too. It is affecting the world because without technology, people don't have access to important news, stock market rises and drops, proper education, immediate communication with family and friends, and more. Slide #5: What is being done to stop, prevent, or fix this issue? Answer: Many organizations like digital divide.org and one laptop per child are already trying to help stop, prevent, and fix this issue. They fundraise and donate to the help the people without technology, helping to slowly close the digital divide. (: Back to Top

Answer: We chose to research digital divide in Shanghai because we all have technology but there are many others in the world that do not. Shanghai is just a tiny city in this world but just in Shanghai, we can find many people that lack access to technology. The people who lack access to technology lack access to immediate world information, proper education, and connection with friends, family, and teachers leading to other problems like poverty. As we researched, we learned a lot about digital divide and as we wrote our proposal, digital divide seemed like the most interesting topic to research because we know how it feels to not have technology.

Answer: One Laptop per Child Slide #15: What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change the issue? Answer:They are concentrating on providing cheap, rugged low-cost laptops for children around the world so they can get connected to the internet. Slide #16: What are some of the things you like about their program? Answer: Some things that i like about their program is the laptops are so well made, that they are only $100, and they dont use normal electricity, but they use hand-cranks and solar power.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Interactive Activity- This should be related to your case study and involve audience members in order to educate them more on your topic. Describe your activity here and write down any questions you will ask the group. You should have the questions or directions on your power point. Slide #18: Overall Idea Answer: Our interactive activity is going to be short but to the point. We are going to let two audience members come up and we're going to give one person a dictionary, lined paper and pencil; and another a laptop with dictionary.com on and a word document. We're going to tell both of them to do the same thing: to find a specific word and write or type up all of it's definitions available. It's a race to see who finishes first. The person with the laptop is supposed to finish faster showing the importance of technology (in this case, while doing homework). Copy and pasting is acceptable (: Slide #19: Directions Look up the word: eccentric. Who finished first? Slide #20: Directions What does this have to do with digital divide? Discuss this.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Slide #22: What is your organization (name of your group)? Answer: DDD (Decreasing the Digital Divide) Slide #23: What is the purpose- Why are you doing this action? Answer: We are trying to help digital divide because we think that because all of us are lucky enough to have access to technology like laptops and cell phones, we don't think about the others who don't. We realize that without technology, we would be in trouble, with no place to research things, no immediate connection with your family, friends, or teachers. Although digital divide may not seem like a big deal, it is. It leads to lack of proper education and therefore leading to poverty later in life. Slide #24: The message- Why should people be informed about this issue? Answer: People should be informed about this issue because it's a obstacle, a global obstacle, that everyone has to overcome in order to make this world a better place, for it to grow. The people who don't have technology are like people stranded on a deserted island with no one to call to for help and with no way to escape; they are slowly dying and decaying on that little island. Digital divide is like that. People who don't have technology don't have connection to what's happening today. Slide #25: What is a short-term plan for achieving your goal? Answer: As for now, we shall start by raising awareness through our wiki, our 45 minute presentation, and through our everyday lives by talking about this issue. Slide #26: What is a long-term plan for achieving your goal? Answer: We shall start fundraising and donating it to schools in Shanghai for them to buy more computers and other new technology. We'll choose this school by observing their environment to see how much they need money for new technology. We can make sure they use money for technology by making them sign a contract saying that they will not use this money on anything else. Slide #27: What information does your wiki contain to let people know about this? Answer: It contains information about our organization, our case study, our powerpoint plan, and some resources. When people read this, they will know a lot of our problems with the digital divide. Slide #28: Make a list of organizations/petitions that people can join to get involved in this issue. Answer: You can donate to organizations like One Laptop Per Child, or you can donate to us and we’ll promise we won't use this money for our own needs. We’ll donate it to schools in Shanghai to help them gain the technology they need. (: Slide #29: Reflect on how your action plan is going? What have you done already, how have you modified it and what is your time line? Answer: Jenny has tried to ask her church to let our group do a fundraiser outside of the church but they said no; at least we made an effort to get money from people other than our friends and teachers. (: This Sunday, we met up in Starbucks and made some finishing touches. Back to Top

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Slide #31: Why is this important? Why should you care about this and work towards solving this topic? Answer: The digital divide is an important issue because this 'divide' is causing lack of education, no access to modern day news, cut of communication with friends and family, and a lot more. We should care and work towards solving this issue because if you are reading this, you obviously don't know how having no technology feels like, but it's bad. It's like cutting off one of your main daily schedules on your agenda; it would feel like you're missing something. The people who don't have technology have to live everyday without laptops, cell phones, and etc. We should all be empathetic and help solve this issue together. (: Slide #32: Why should other people do something? Answer: Other people should do something because digital divide isn't just an issue which you can solve with one person's help or two. We need everyone to help, to solve this problem. If we all work together, the digital divide will definitely be defeated. (: Slide #33: Make sure to leave them thinking and inspired to do something themselves! Answer: Dollar by dollar, cent by cent, we CAN give them the technology they need and a future they deserve. You can help just by doing a little, we can all make a huge impact. If you can't imagine yourself without computers, without ipods, without cellphones, think of others today. We believe you can make a change. (: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Back to Top
