The current approaches to funding educational technology negatively impact my final project on accessibility because the lack of funding in the schools is assisting the problem that is already occurring of the lack of equal access all around. This occurs especially among the schools that are already less privileged than others and just makes the gap even bigger. On the flip side of things like we talked about in class if a school partnered with a big company like some schools already have, such as a school that partnered with NASA, they would be gaining more access which would make this a positive thing. If a school partnered with Dell then they would be gaining access to computers in the school which could benefit them in a positive way. However, that still does not fix the issue of some students having access to computers or such things outside of the school while others do not. This issue could be solved possibly if the company that they partnered with gave each student an Ipad or a laptop, things that would give them access to technology outside of class. Schools are not getting very much funding as is, which is making the technology aspect of access not get any better. Because of this there is still unequal access among schools, as well as among students.
