What is "Equal access to the digital world?" - Seedlings

As has been mentioned in posts, it is not providing the physical equipment, even in school, it is providing the information needed in order to be a member of a digital society. In slightly more concrete terms, in elementary/primary grades we teach many things that the students won't be doing for years to come. Yet, we are providing them the information they will need when the time comes. For example, around election time we talk about voting, the electoral college, how to become president, how to calculate percentage-off, and many other skills that will come in handy. My son is in driver's ed, I don't expect the driving school to buy him a car (although at the price they charge, they should) I expect them to teach him the rules of the road and how to act/react in a variety of situations that may arise. These are all ways of providing access to the world around us.
