Digital Smarts - Bridging the Home School Tech Divide

There is something known as a “device gap” in schools, where students from lower-income backgrounds don’t have the same digital access as their middle class peers. This gap affects everyone, because assignments are limited to the digital resources that are available to everyone – impacting not only homework assignments but all the way up to district curriculum.  How can parents and educators can help families make better use of technology resources outside of the classroom?
