Article Evaluation
- Everything within the digital divide articles are relevant to the article in my opinion. The only thing that is somewhat distracting is that the definition it self has so many parts to it in the article which may make it a little more difficult to understand and grasp the big picture of digital divide. - I do like that there is a lot of information on global digital divide rather than just the definition in general considering the gap of digital divide is not as great in the US. Digital divide is seen more when comparing it globally. There are huge gaps around the world so the fact that the article has a section about overcoming this issue is great. - The links within the article that I checked did work and they led to other articles within Wikipedia about that specific link which help support claims in that section of the article. - The references that I checked do work and lead to different websites, however some were outdated. One reference that I checked was dated July 1995 and there were a couple others in the 1990's. Information regarding those topics have probably changed since then. - The talk page for the article talked about mainly adding information about the digital divide in professional development specifically for teachers and how that affects education for those attending schools. - The article is also a part of five existing WikiProjects - The way the article is discussed on the talk page is pretty similar to the way it is talked about in class. Main points of the talk page were about adding or getting rid of certain citations in order to improve the article as well as what information can be added to fully explain the definition of digital divide and what digital divide consists of.
