The digital equity divide encompasses a complex set of conditions that cannot be addressed until every student has access to affordable broadband, adequate devices, necessary software, digital literacy skills, and a community of support. This conference will look at the role school libraries can and do play in ensuring digital equity for all students, including how they partner with the school community, parents and caregivers, and their local public library to bridge the digital equity divide. Gain skills, ideas, and support towards providing equitable digital access to all students.
Conference registrants will have access to all live sessions as well as access to session recordings.
