My issue is about access to technology in education. Equitable access to technology refers to all students having access to technology and should have the same opportunity as any other student in their school regardless of their ethnicity, socio-economic status, age, physical ability, or any other quality. I am interested If the Covid pandemic had never had happened it is very unlikely I would have researched into this; as the pandemic is what made this a bigger issue than what it already was. When people look at my work, I want them to be appreciative and feel fortunate of the technology they have for their education.

Action
I have created a video to create awareness for technology in education, to potentially send out to schools or the governments to be used as a learning resource.So they can be educated and can either apply for a charity so they can be helped,using our video as a media kit or to then learn about this and take action for themselves.
