2024 UETN Tech Summit

Join us as we share how bridging the digital divide can be more than just providing physical access to computers and broadband. You'll learn about the components necessary when providing equitable access and how they work together to bridge the digital divide in K-12 education.

Review of the research and address how overwhelming, even though the questions focused on physical access the conversations continued to bring up other components of addressing the digital divide (motivation/attitude, digital skills, and usage) - share the Model of Equitable Technology and the Utah Equitable Access of the Digital Divide framework and talk through how they can be used when planning for and talking about what can be done to bridge the digital divide - provide opportunities for participants to talk in small groups and share ideas/thoughts via a backchannel using Padelt - about what they do to address motivation/attiude, digital skills, physical access, usage. - bring group together and talk through what was shared on the padlet as well as allow participants to ask questions and share out.
