Key points: Rapid AI adoption in well-resourced classrooms is deepening the digitaldivide How much AI is too much? Most parents know AI will be crucial to their children’s future For more on AI in education, visit eSN’s DigitalLearning hub Generative AI is transforming the nature of work in many fields.
Not all students have reliable internet connections or devices, creating a digitaldivide that exacerbates existing inequalitiesespecially for younger learners in an online elementary school setting where consistent access is critical for foundational development. Another concern is the varying levels of access to technology.
As COVID-19 shifted learning online, students and educators lost access to those hands-on, in-person real world learning experiences and mentors. Teachers across the region reported that students were more engaged and had higher attendance during digitallearning due to the excitement of working with artists and other partners.
Rory Kennedy examines the gaps computer and internet access between wealthy and impoverished schools in her latest documentary, “Without a Net: The DigitalDivide in America.”. But that won’t close what has come to be known as “the digitaldivide.”. How long has the “digitaldivide” been on your radar?
Expansion of Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program to include additional student connectivity and teacher professional development for Title I schools. These initiatives build upon Verizon’s efforts to help under-resourced communities bridge the digitaldivide.
The nonprofit was founded in response to the global wildfire adoption of its first-generation learning platform, KA Lite , which provided offline access to Khan Academy videos and exercises. Even in this case, Kolibri gives agency to educators and organizations to use it in a way that makes sense for the particular learning environment.
The whole basis for this initiative with Verizon and Digital Promise is to bridge the digitaldivide,” Mansfeld principal Dr. Seth Aleshire added. 6, with more than 2,000 iPads distributed to students, who also had the opportunity to participate in a number of STEM stations. It’s really a privilege.”.
As stated in the white paper, “issues such as underfunding, understaffing, the digitaldivide and the impacts of the pandemic have set the stage for an ambitious revival.” The white paper, released under the brand ClassVR, Avantis’ award-winning all-in-one VR/AR headsets for schools, is available for download at [link].
Schools’ struggles to engage English learners’ families during the pandemic partly stem from another pre-pandemic inequity — gaps in access to digitallearning devices and the internet. By and large, English learners aren’t thriving under distance learning.
I have traveled the country delivering PD relating to technology integration, PBL, STEM, Digital Literacy, and the 4 C’s. I have some powerful online interactive workshops and webinars that can be used to engage learning in this new environment. Perhaps a digitallearning journal could be employed to promote reflection.
After months of research and a successful pilot, the district chose enVision to be that core mathematics curriculum because of its rigor, digitallearning components, and engaging lessons. This lab includes various STEM products, modular seating, and curriculum. Smart transportation, and VR, among others.
To meet this challenge, Jhone Ebert, Nevada State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in the summer of 2020 announced the launch of the Nevada DigitalLearning Collaborative (DLC). After months of research and a successful pilot, the district chose enVision because of its rigor, digitallearning components, and engaging lessons.
Virtual and hybrid learning continued into the spring, but then classrooms welcomed back students for full-time in-person learning in the fall. Many silver linings emerged and digitallearning cemented itself as a “must have” in schools. –Remco Bergsma, CEO, MiEN Company. –Amy Gulley, M.Ed
At the same time, the report cites the urgent need to close the digitaldivide for 2.3 million students across the nation who lack access to the minimum connectivity required for digitallearning. million teachers in more than 81,000 schools have the Internet access they need for digitallearning.
Platforms like coding applications and virtual simulations also introduce valuable STEM skills, nurturing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Interactive tools, educational apps, and online platforms cater to diverse learning styles, making lessons more dynamic.
There are a lot of unanswered questions, but also some great reference points to help guide us as we develop answers together, like the importance of social emotional support, digitaldivides, the experience gap, and the COVID slide. What makes an effective remote digitallearning program? Math is for everyone!
Here’s what they had to say: Text-based AI interfaces provide an opportunity to help close the digitaldivide…and avoid an impending AI divide. Second, in response to talent-shortage concerns, schools will place greater emphasis on work-based learning, STEM education, and vocational training programs.
Education and student well-being are stretched thin, and lingering learning gaps, exacerbated by the pandemic, present hurdles for all students–especially underrepresented students groups who were already at a disadvantage. The role of schools in providing accessible and equitable education will come into focus.

The implication, according to one NYT article : “the digital gap between rich and poor kids is not what we expected.” The real digitaldivide, this article contends, is not that affluent children have access to better and faster technologies. (Um, Um, they do.) In other words, the crisis may be “ a myth.”.
And in another post, I will look at the administration’s efforts to promote STEM and CS education via the Computer Science For All initiative launched in January ; in yet another I’ll look at its efforts to encourage schools use open educational resources via the GoOpen initiative which it launched last year.
