The digital divide in education gives students with internet and devices a major academic advantage, while others struggle to access basic learning resources. Closing this gap is critical for equitable education in the digital age. #EM203Research https://t.co/Hba2RCUOuc

@ITUBDTDirector @Huawei @ITUAsiaPacific @ITUArabStates @ITUAmericas @ITUAfrica @ITUCISRegion @ITUEurope Is access a strong enough solution to fully bridge the gap or is it a step towards a larger solution?

@TekveraInitiatv What do you think is large part to shift towards bridging the digital gap?

@EAA_Foundation What are some solutions to help on a local level to hopefully lead to an overall improvement?

Digital inequality in education is not just about internet access. Research shows digital skills significantly improve academic performance, especially for disadvantaged students. #EM203Research https://t.co/rdjgqDAu3S

Over 900M Africans are offline, not by choice but due to lack of opportunity.

By 2030, Sub-Saharan Africa could see 230M digital jobs. Accelerating Africa’s digital revolution is key to reducing inequality, empowering communities and creating millions of jobs.

Oil spiked just 8% after Iran’s attack, not $80-$100 as predicted, because the U.S. is producing record-breaking 13.6M barrels/day.

Thank God for “Drill Baby Drill.” 🛢️

Children without reliable internet or updated devices start school at a disadvantage. Digital inequality is shaping academic outcomes and long term economic mobility in Canada. Access to technology is now a condition for educational equity. #EM203Research

My peer @EM203TDhadda created a concept map on Digital Media Use & Mental Health. A related problem is late-night screen use disrupting student sleep, worsening anxiety, mood, and academic performance. #EM203problems

@EM203LGordon That’s wild, Luke. It’s crazy how much distractions actually affect focus. Definitely a good wake-up call and I think I’ll be joining you to try and make my study habits more effective. #EM203Robin

[Calvin Fraser @calvinwfraser]

@CharlotteEM203 Well said, Charlotte. I relate to this a lot. Becoming aware of how we learn is just as important as what we learn. Also finding the best way for you to learn is critical and this course has helped me understand that. #EM203Robin

[Calvin Fraser @calvinwfraser]

@XMccarrey37116 I agree, Xavier. Reading through everyone’s perspectives really shows how learning has evolved in the digital age. #EM203Robin

[Calvin Fraser @calvinwfraser]

@EM203geddlesto I agree, Grace. Stepping outside your comfort zone is where real learning happens, and digital tools definitely open up new ways to grow. #EM203Robin

[Calvin Fraser @calvinwfraser]

@EM203SierraB Totally agree, Sierra. Being online doesn’t make you digitally skilled. Technology must be used in a way that allows you to actually learn and grow rather than taking shortcuts. #EM203Robin
