Creative Ways In Addressing Low Tech/No Tech
Can Families Access the Internet in a New Way?
Many Cell Phone carriers are currently offering their customers unlimited data for free. Student or family member may be able to turn a cell phone into a hotspot
Key Consideration:
Cell carriers are opening up their networks. WiFi hotspots in out-of-home locations will be available for free to anyone who needs them, including non-customers, to keep communities connected.
What hotspots are included? - Generally, hotspots located both indoors and outdoors in places like shopping districts, parks, businesses, and train stations will be open. Hotspots located in customers’ homes are not opened to the public.
Can Districts provide a list of locations of outdoor hotspots families could access?
