Chapter 5: Answer Key C B D C B A A Giving every student access to a computing device at school is seen as a way to compensate for some students’ lack of access to technology outside of school, thus reducing digital inequality. It is also the case that computer companies are promoting laptop initiatives as a way to sell low–cost machines to schools.

There is also concern that the Internet networks that support 3G and 4G devices will not run through some school Web filters, making it impossible for students and teachers to access important educational websites. There are also concerns about possible violations of student privacy.
