Reaching Students When Access to Technology is Out of Reach

Webinar

Freedom to Read FoundationDuring this time of shelter-in-place directives, many students are able to continue studies through distance or eLearning. What happens when students are in areas so remote that they can’t reach internet access, and teachers are unable to get materials to them? Or when people are in a populated area but lacking the funds or supportive networks needed to attend school online or maintain a schedule? This is common in rural areas and cities throughout the United States. Join us to better understand existing barriers to technology and information and to hear what some librarians and educators are doing to help. Presented by the Freedom To Read Foundation.

Topic: Digital Equity, Remote Learning, Technology Policy

Audience: Library Workers, Educators, and Administrators
