The term digital divide provides recognition of the gap in opportunities and experiences of those who are online with those who are not, including students. Today, the uneven level of access with ICTs is known as the first-level digital divide.
This gives a more recent explanation of what a digital divide is in our modern context. In my own classroom (High School Art) there are some students who have Pinterest boards full of artistic inspiration and tons of saved art posts on Instagram that they can use as reference or inspiration when we are working on projects, but some students do not know how to use those same platforms in they way that the first type of student does. Some students are very familiar with using digital art programs as well, even on a rudimentary level, but some students have never even used a program such as MS Paint, so the gap of understanding digital art terms for exaple is widened for those students.
