Can teachers provide equal access to the digital world to all students?

I want to be optimistic that all teachers can provide equal access to the digital world to all students. Today it will be difficult to say that, however in a few years time it will be more realistic. In reading the article "Examining Teachers' Beliefs About the Role of Technology in the Elementary Classroom," by Ertmer, Addison, Lane, Ross, and Woods, it discussed the barriers to change both extrinsic and intrinsic. Teachers will continue to have extrinsic barriers, such as not enough computers in the classroom, or computer lab, and not enough time to plan instruction. However, the intrinsic barrier is the beliefs about teaching, computers, and unwillingness to change. This is the area the school districts need to focus on. Teachers have various levels of experience and comfort level with computers that may help or hind equal access in a digital world. Teachers need to get training, degrees of training will vary, on how to incorporate digital learning into their lesson plans. Many school districts will not be able to afford a computer for every student, but as teachers the need to utilize the extrinsic resources available to them no matter how limited is important. Many teachers use the computer as a reward system, to allow students to use the computer. So can teachers provide equal access to the digital world for every student? The answer is yes. Teachers can provide equal access to the digital world within the walls of the school. They can incorporate technology into the lesson plans, schedule computer lab time once a month, and they can schedule time for the students to utilize the computer in the class room. However, they can not provide equal access outside of the classroom because of extrinsic barriers in students home environment (i.e. no Internet, no computer, no access to the town library).
