"CLOSING THE APP GAP”
by: Lesli Rotenberg
There is a “digital divide” between children from high-income homes and those from low-income homes. Children in low-income homes tend to receive less exposure to technological devices and apps, which can be useful learning tools. PBS, in partnership with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the U.S. Department of Education, is providing free educational apps on devices in Head Start centers, Title I schools, and other organizations that serve low-income communities.
