Edtech Collaborations to Bridge the Digital Divide
Description:
Along with broadband-for-all comes the promise of closing the digital divide. But 15 million students in the USA without consistent Internet cannot wait the 10+ years it will take for its completion. Urgency to address this learning equity gap can best be met by complementary innovations to broadband-for-all.
This panel explores how collaborative efforts with edtech solutions, open learning resources, unique access models, and community feedback can expand learning – without the Internet.
