For their senior Capstone Project, Sophie Azula and Kate Morris, two students in the Leadership and International Relations Specialty Center at James River High School, are implementing a plan to help better students’ education within their own school community. They have been researching and formulating a plan to combat the digital divide that goes largely unaddressed within public education systems.
A digital divide is defined as the gap between those who have access to or the use of both computers and the Internet and those who do not. In their efforts to bridge the digital divide in their school, they reached out to Brian Jones, the school division’s executive director of technology, for a little help putting their plan into action.
