Bridging the Digital Access Divide: New Insights on Digital Equity and Security in K-12 Education

Access to technology is a cornerstone of modern education, yet too many students still lack reliable access to the digital tools and resources they need to succeed. This digital access divide hinders learning, limits opportunities, and widens achievement gaps.

 

Join the Center for Digital Education for a live webinar where we break down key findings from the Universal Connectivity Imperative (UCI) report by SETDA. This comprehensive report provides a detailed roadmap for overcoming the digital access divide, offering actionable strategies and expert advice across four critical focus areas:

  • Affordable, Reliable Broadband & Devices: Learn about strategies for ensuring all students have access to reliable broadband and devices, both in and out of school.  
  • Digital Skills for Students, Families, & Caregivers: Discover how to build digital skills for students, families, and caregivers to promote digital citizenship and resilience.  
  • Technical Support, Online Privacy, & Cybersecurity: Learn about cost-effective cybersecurity practices, data privacy compliance tools, and how to balance security and privacy in K-12 environments.  
  • Inclusive Digital Tools & Platforms: Explore how to select and implement digital tools and platforms that are inclusive and responsive to the needs of all learners.  
     

Whether you’re looking for ways to improve digital access in your district or strengthen your school’s cybersecurity posture, this session will give you the insights you need to move forward with confidence.
