This article is apparently about the role of technology in overcoming social exclusion in US Education. It sounds very interesting, examining current patterns of exclusion among other things. I was not able to access the entire article, because the cost was prohibitive. For short term (1 day) viewing, the price was $20. I feel that this is extremely ironic – they are writing an article about using technology to overcome social exclusion, but they exlude many readers by putting a hefty price tag on it. What I find interesting is the social dynamic. Where I could pay for this article if I wanted to, why would I when there are so many free articles out there? However, they are denying access to the same people they seem to be trying to empower with their article.
