Digital Divide & Conquer: Closing Equity Gaps in Education

Mar 3, 2025

1:30pm – 2:00pm CT

This Show & Tell session examines the real-world example of the complex landscape of digital inequity in New Mexico, where educators struggle with isolation, heavy workloads, and limited resources. This session explores the challenges of providing effective professional development in such contexts, including one-size-fits-all approaches, lack of relevance to classroom realities, and insufficient support for implementation. We will present a case study highlighting how a collaborative, community-driven solution was developed to overcome these obstacles
