Abstract: With current research (Smith, 2010) indicating that we are moving from a digital divide to digital solidarity, it is imperative that schools prioritize the engagement and mobilization of students from diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, and economic backgrounds with giftedness and/or disabilities to utilize and apply technologies so that they can compete academically with their global counterparts. Educators need to be aware of and advocate for new innovative instructional programs, including virtual schools, e-tutoring, and interactive online communities for K-12 students that effectively use technological tools while making appropriate linguistic, academic, and financial accommodations so that ALL students can experience equity of access through online participation.
