School closures are deepening the divide between haves and have-nots, because many US families lack devices for their children to learn online. If you have an old unused computer, you can donate it to help: https://givecomputers.pcsforpeople.org/

Microsoft and Apple con schools into replacing devices well before necessary. Tell them to show some benevolence with their obscene profits and ‘redundant’ stock.

I think it is exposing the divide
@hadip Even after we get through this we have to continue to work toward closing the broadband gap and making 1:1 devices at all schools a reality. -
Let’s not think that the problem is solved when students return to school . This has been an equity issue for many years.

Hadi- it’s not just devices ... it’s actual access to connectivity that is a bigger issue in rural communities... we can provide devices and mobile hotspots ... but even that falls short for some...

I totally agree. Because I’m unaware of a simple donation option to address the connectivity divide, I shared the action that I felt was accessible to most.

Let’s break our digital Gap! I know exactly what it means. We are a Title I school, and our families have low-incomes. This Pandemic is hurting them deeply

In rural WV, we have vast areas without home internet or cell service availability, making digital distance learning impossible for many students
