Digital equity and access in the 21st century are crucial to students being able to compete on a global level: There are few places in society where technology is not utilized or playing an important role. As a result, it’s more critical than ever that students graduate with the 21st-century literacy and technology skills they need to navigate, read and succeed in our increasingly interconnected, digital world. In this edWebinar, Dr. Darryl Adams addresses the following questions:

  • What resources does your organization need to ensure that digital equity and access is affordable to those you serve? Which platforms and partners will help you ensure that every student has a 24/7 “anytime, anywhere, any-device” learning experience?
  • What are the “Why, How and When” of digital conversion for all? How can your education partners support these efforts?
  • How does the new ESSA legislation supporting digital equity and access impact the future of educational technology in light of the perceived policies of the new Trump administration?
  • How should instructional and engagement practices change in order to incorporate personalized learning, blended learning, online learning and learning modalities not yet on the horizon?
  • What does College, Career and Citizenship preparation look like in a digitized school environment and how do you ensure that “All” really means “ALL”?
  • What does the future hold for digital equity and access for all – and can we get this done in the United States?
  • What does a tech-savvy teacher look like in the 21st century and what types of training ensures continuous improvement for teachers and students?
  • All K-12 educators and administrators are invited to watch this recorded session!
