Post potential topic, audience, and stance for LT 1 

The topic I plan to address in my essay pertains to hidden inequalities in large scale government educational programs that promote upward social mobility.  My targeted audience are educators, parents, and politicians.  The purpose of this paper is to form an argument about how government educational programs promote equal access to all, but does not necessarily provide equal opportunity for all to benefit.  As a future educator, I find it important to address the issue of students having limited access to technology.  When I was a child, I attended a school district that had limited access to technology in my schools.  I personally have experienced the challenges of not being taught how to manipulate certain technologies and I see the importance of having students become technology literate.  I graduated from high school twenty-two years ago and I see how my message is still relevant, because there are students in poor school districts that still do not have access to technology.  The limited access hinders social mobility.
