Abstract
The Minnesota Educators and Leaders Technology Initiative (MELTI) contributes to community building and digital equity through computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) activities and other project activities. The CSCL activities that include asynchronous, synchronous, and video conferencing are designed to address issues of integration faced by the MELTI participating schools which have high percentage of minority students. The notions of social inclusion and technology literacy play a key role in the CSCL activities design for the purpose of overcoming barriers to digital equity.
