ASPIRA recognizes that Latinos still have significantly less access to state-of-the-art technology in schools.

• efforts by school districts, states and the Federal Government to increase access to technology specifically in schools attended by Latino students to at least the levels of access in the more affluent schools;

• continued research into the impact of technology on the education and lives of Latinos and on the issue of access;

• efforts to research and implement technology-based education programs that are proven effective with Latino students;

• initiatives that provide quality professional development to teachers so they can maximize the effective use of technology as a tool in the classroom;

• As programs that offer high tech training to Latino youth as either an alternative career path or as a supplement to their education;

the responsible use of Internet and the promotion and dissemination of information on safety for Internet users.
