EduCast: Legacy Tech Is a Bridge to Broadband

Datacasting is a legacy technology that supports the one-way transmission of data over a terrestrial broadcast signal. Traditionally used for public safety, datacasting is now being used to deliver instructional content to students with broadband challenges. The concept was initially piloted in South Carolina and has now expanded to multiple public media stations across the nation. This session will discuss the pilot projects while facilitating conversations around access, equity, and decreasing the digital divide.
