Socio Economic

The financial capabilities of a school affect how much technologies are available.
  • Poorer the schools =less computers
  • The company E-Rate was created to help schools afford technology.
  • The company provides “discounts on the cost of telecommunication services and equipment to public and private schools and libraries” (Bitter and Le
    gacy, 245). This allows more schools to have technology since money is no longer an issue.
