Technology and Children

I see a big divide among students and technology. I have students who use email, they blog, check out wikis, Visit their friend's My Space accounts, text with their photo enabled cell-phone, and, at the tender age of 11, could be considered gamers.

Now take some other students, who may not have used a computer before and do not have access to any of the technology except through school. How can we best bridge such a large gap in the understanding and utilization of technology?
