This past October,
Digital Inclusion Week highlighted the pressing need for a national digital equity plan in the United States. Despite the increasing reliance on digital technologies, many communities still need access to reliable internet connectivity and the necessary digital skills.
Advocates and policymakers are working to tackle the challenges of digital inequity. They call for a comprehensive national digital equity plan to guarantee affordable high-speed internet access for everyone, especially underserved communities. The plan would include digital skills training programs and digital literacy initiatives to ensure equal opportunities. The successful implementation of this plan would require collaboration between government, private sector, and nonprofit organizations to bridge the digital divide and create a more inclusive digital society.
To better understand the importance of inclusivity in education, the book
Supporting Activist Practices in Education (ISBN: 9798369305379) offers practical advice on anti-racist and anti-biased teaching, digital equity, and restorative justice practices. This comprehensive guide empowers educators to go beyond traditional teaching methods and embrace activism that promotes inclusivity and equity in the classroom.
