Unfinished Business: Understanding the Digital Divides that Still Exist in American Schools
January 15, 2025
SOUTH 210C
District Leaders
In support of the release of the first new National Educational Technology Plan in 7 years, Project Tomorrow has created a new series of reports that examine each of the three digital divides through the lens of the Speak Up Research findings. Each report in the series provides foundational data to support the national emphasis on closing the access, design and use divides in American education, and identify specific areas of “unfinished business” that will help local, state, and national leaders understand the need for urgency and targeted attention on the inequities inherent in the divides. This session will provide a summary of the key findings and discuss ways that local schools and communities can address this unfinished business. Participants will gain access to a new assessment that they can use to understand their school or district’s readiness for closing the digital access, use and design divides.
