This article discusses three issues facing students of color and students who are considered at risk for school failure because of inequities existing with regard to technology. It examines who and where these students are, technologies to which they do and do not have access, the types of instruction typically used with this population of student, and the barriers preventing equitable access to and instruction with the technology. Finally, the article offers suggestions on how educators can increase students' access to technology, tailor technology instruction to fit the needs of individual students, and create technology-rich classrooms and schools in an attempt to reach as nearly as possible universal access and use for all students.
