There are always gaps between studentsâ use of ICT in learning and entertainment. This is so-called âdigital capitalâ and could have an effect on academic achievement in schools. In addition to socioeconomic backgrounds, there are other reasons for the phenomenon. These are cultural (technological) capital, resources, and the mediation philosophy of ICT usage of parents. There are always differences in these factors between lower-class and middle-class parents. Thus, in order to bridge the divide, we must educate them in both ICT skills and mediation theories. This will result in a change of beliefs among parents concerning how they mediate with their children regarding the issues of using digital devices. Hence, with this authorâs own philosophy of educational technology, we can encourage âpositive and quality use of ICTâ among students and consequently provide a good influence on academic performance.
