Abstract:

The primary school system in Mexico is affected by serious shortfalls in the installation of related information and communication technologies resources in the teaching-learning process. This lack of resources has an impact of the context of the digital divide as well as in joining the knowledge society. The present article will deal with the outfitting of classrooms with the enciclomedia system (video, web pages, digital resources, electronic blackboard) in the 5th and 6th grade in the State of Puebla. It will demonstrate important findings, demonstrating the deepening digital divide between the state capital and the rest of the counties in this state. In fact, the furthest (300 km far away from Puebla city) the less primary school equipped with the enciclomedia system. I will also demonstrate the resource distribution by school-type. This study should provide public policy decision-makers with valuable information for the apportionment of resources in all counties of the State of Puebla.
