They had recently increased from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps. GAINING MOMENTUM.
I grant there is something to these arguments (though often much less than it seems from the press releases and sponsored casestudies). And, surely, many traditional and new publishers will argue that their content doesn’t resemble textbook content in the least, being adaptive, personalized and interactive.

With the possibility of remote learning returning this fall, the City of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the philanthropic community, and leading Internet Service Providers (ISPs) recognized a historic opportunity to eliminate broadband accessibility as a barrier to digital learning. On June 25, 2020, Mayor Lori E.
The survey results demonstrated the urgency of eliminating broadband accessibility as a barrier to remote learning. The initiative set a goal of ensuring that every student had access to a broadband connection, which drove innovation and perseverance among all key players from the Task Force to the calling agents to school leaders.
Developed by the University of New Mexico-Taos Education and Career Center and local business partners, Taos HIVE was designed to solve challenges unique to rural communities, such as geographic isolation, education deserts , and lack of access to broadband and other services.
It is also not too surprising, given that for much of this decade businesses and governments have laid the infrastructure needed to support online learning, through enabling better broadband internet access and providing cheap computing devices to schools. But there’s still much room for improvement.
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. The key is the state leadership to make broadband accessible to all. Included in the new report and accompanying website are casestudies of success stories.
We have lots of casestudies and examples that really allow them to explore different concepts, such as one about bias that might be on TikTok. And so we were able to identify those broadband issues. I call it “Gen Z curriculum design.” Instead of saying, ’These are your learning objectives,’ we just have #goals.

Using engaging, current, and relevant casestudies, this includes activities on: COVID-19 pandemic (snapshot up until July 2020). Global climate change – latest scientific data (up to 2019 in some cases). Limited broadband access may be an obstacle for many students. Print titles, used alongside learning.

” “Taking action,” in this case, meant releasing some casestudies and posting a notice on the Federal Register about how a competitive grant program could provide a more “innovative” way to build assessments.
