Inadequate WIFI and the availability of computers at home for kids to use for learning caught many educators off guard. The COVID19 pandemic unearthed many harsh realities for education across the globe.
But administrators realized that the problem they were trying to treat—the digitaldivide—was less like a mild cut and more like a deep wound. And patching the gash between the technology haves and have-nots might require a more substantial remedy than a band-aid.

Even the visible presence of a phone pulls students — and many adults — away from their focus.
