An end to education inequality...

Will technology be an equalizer, an end to education inequality? I think there is a two-fold answer, both yes and no.

Yes: A quality education is easily accessed from a computer; whereas, living in a certain community or at least within commuting distance of a educational institution was necessary for reaping the benefits of gaining a quality education.

No: It is still a case of the have and have nots. Instead of having to live in a higher-end community in order to attend a better school, one has to have a good computer, access to the internet, and/or various other tech tools necessary to participate in online educational environments.

However, technology still increases access to a quality education, and even though we can never completely address economic disparity in society. If education leadership justifies the need for online education, and having access to educational resources society would benefit.

Check out this article. It talks about how online public High School has served to increase access to a quality education, especially to rural parts of the State.
