At #SIDigi2022, good to hear Becky Kobberod, new head of digital transformation at @Smithsonian, recognize that many U.S. households are #underconnected: "We can create experiences that aren’t heavy on broadband and are mobile-first" + partner w/educators, 4H, Girl Scouts, etc.

Missed this tweet yesterday on #NationalTechnologyDay but wanted to give an extended shout out: See new work from @amandalatasha on representation in kids' media and books, important studies on #underconnected families and #learningat home, an explainer on #mediamentors & more.

It's #NationalTechnologyDay, so we're focusing on #EdTech Policy! 👩‍💻🖥🥼 That includes librarians teaching people how to use computers. It’s teacher resources that are free and available online. It’s connecting families to broadband. And so much more: https://t.co/gNavyMJNrd

"I had to replace my first-grader’s tablet on two different occasions. The camera didn’t work, and I had to take it back. We live 25 minutes from school. So me and all the kids, we have to take the bus and get downtown." #underconnected @LisaGuernsey https://t.co/0KaFUDgInj

A new piece I wrote for @slate, interviewing a caregiver of 4 students, #underconnected: “Right now, it’s going to be in-class learning. But if that changes, will they have tablets for each child?” https://t.co/CLPAYlfA1N

Even as the number of students who are unconnected declines, there are still millions of #underconnected families had to deal with shoddy internet and unreliable devices. Inevitably, this got in the way of #remotelearning, writes @ByEmilyTate in @EdSurge. https://t.co/9aRzU2Prmx

This op-ed in @thehill ends w/3 smart recommendations: Prioritize families who are #underconnected and get them the tools & human capital they need. Think local and infuse community organizations with support. And harness the power of children's media companies to aid learning.

This state of being #underconnected is worrisome for summer programs & the next school year. Learning gaps will only increase if lower-income families have to struggle like this. A story to watch @jryoung @MaggieSeverns @ceciliakang @ezraklein @NickKristof

Families desperately need connectivity with digital devices AND human connectivity with local organizations and schools. We found that 69% of #underconnected parents struggled with broken computers or slow internet—many of them didn't know who to turn to. https://t.co/jCYYKhGhZI

Did you know that in the past year: ➡️ 18% of lower-income families with young children had their #internet service interrupted due to unpaid bills? ➡️ 12% still have no 💻 at home at all? What was learning at home like for these #underconnected families? https://t.co/N8dPO1fxEx
