If the workday of an adult typically requires seamless broadband access, then it’s reasonable that today’s students need the same access during their school day. After all, schools are preparing them for their future careers, which will include using some aspect of online technology. Recently, SETDA released State K-12 Broadband Leadership: Driving Connectivity, Access and Student Success, which looks at the current state of broadband access and how states are supporting teachers and students.
This session will provide an overview of SETDA’s report, The Broadband Imperative II: Equitable Access for Learning, which advocates for increasing robust broadband access both in and out of school to best prepare all students for college and careers.
