The Role of Technology in Overcoming Social Exclusion in US Education

http://epx.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/15/2/258

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.
