The broadband gap isn’t only a problem for remote learning. That Broadband Gap Bar? schools had high-speed broadband connections. Well, that was at the Federal Communications Commission’s 2014-15 short-term target of 100 Kbps per student for using tech in the classroom. All in this Edtech Reports Recap.
To support current implementation and to provide insights to shape future implementation, Digital Promise examined teachers’ experiences with technology and professional learning through a series of casestudies. To learn more about the casestudy in Puerto Rico, download the full report.
According to a report released by the Pew Research Center, approximately 5 of the 29 million households with school-aged children lack access to high quality broadband internet while at home. Coined “The Homework Gap,” this means that many of the children sitting in our classrooms lose connectivity the moment they step of of our campus.
We have market research that suggests K-12 teachers are already using more digital instructional materials than print materials in the classroom. I grant there is something to these arguments (though often much less than it seems from the press releases and sponsored casestudies). Image credits. Fast forward to 2015.
Those numbers suggest edtech is steadily marching into schools and classrooms. 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.
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.
Many of the organizations listed have free tools, research, casestudies, and resources that can seamlessly be utilized and implemented at the district and school levels. Free resources include ratings and reviews of apps, games, and websites, designed to help teachers find and use the best digital tools for their classrooms.
Work collaboratively to answer the question, “What do we want teaching and learning to look like in our classrooms in three to five years?”. However, school leaders should press providers on research, evidence, and casestudies where the device choice and implementation lead to positive student outcomes.
Refocusing classrooms around up-and-coming digital materials requires more than just adding a new tech-based product or two as many processes for reviewing and purchasing instructional materials are still built around print textbooks. Currently, Nevada has what DeLeón described as an outdated method for reviewing materials.
Their support for the new initiative meant that leadership could investigate methods beyond the traditional classroom. Keys to the OER shift: – Community buy-in: The community wasn’t satisfied with the achievement levels and graduation rates. Christine’s background includes experience in education and consulting.
State leaders need to make sure they are giving educators the tools they need to select the best materials for the classroom. While Oregon does not specify any percentage of digital components in the materials, most schools have now incorporated digital resources into their classrooms. Flexibility in adoption options.
Working together with members of Congress as well as technology and publishing firms, the Obama administration has launched ConnectED , a multi-billion dollar initiative aimed at wiring every classroom, modernizing school libraries, increasing professional development, and activating technology-infused professional learning communities.

But many times tech is only integrated at specific points in the classroom or with a specific tool as determined by the teacher. At this stage of the edtech revolution, most educators are focused on using tech to enhance lessons rather than on the tech itself. Christine’s background includes experience in education and consulting.
and since learning inside was deemed dubious at best, the classroom was moved outdoors, where group gatherings were considered safe. They created a sort of how-to manual for outdoor learning, detailing everything from campus site assessments and classroom infrastructure to casestudies and curriculum.
Ten months into the pandemic, there are still too many students who don’t have access to devices and reliable broadband, and who live in home environments that are not conducive to virtual learning. Outdoor classrooms are also one of the most cost-effective ways to increase school capacity.
As the CEO of Funds For Learning, I work alongside school leaders every daypeople who are fighting to close learning gaps, expand broadband access, and prepare the next generation for a world of rapid change. During the COVID-19 pandemic, federal support played a critical role in deploying emergency broadband and learning solutions.
” “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. Everything’s a business opportunity. . The Procurement Problem.
