Resources to Help Your Students Narrow the Digital Divide
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across the nation have canceled in-person classes at every educational level, forcing students to continue their academic work online. However, because many low-income and first-generation students lack internet access or technology in their homes, they are at a distinct disadvantage. Many students are attempting to complete assignments from a mobile phone in the parking lot of a coffee shop or some other public place. Students in rural communities have even fewer options. During this free webinar, representatives from Comcast Internet Essentials and Cox Connect2Compete will discuss their company’s low-cost internet offerings and share other resources to support online access for low-income students and families.
