• How do we make Access to Technology equitable? What does equity of access mean?
• When did a digital Device revolutionize your learning or the learning of a student?
• How are you supporting access to modern digital tools as a learner, an educator, as a leader?
• Do students have access to the wealth of knowledge and empowering tools when they need them?

"Pervasive access to digital tools and resources makes deep learning more possible through broadening the time and space in which students can connect with teachers, peers and others for idea generation, feedback, expertise and the assessment of progress. This inherently makes the learning process more social..." Michael Fullan

Reliable and equitable access to technology is fundamental to education today because it connects learners to the people, information and tools they need. Modern learners use technology to explore new possibilities, form new connections and participate as global citizens. Most important, access to technology gives all learners a voice to engage fully with their world — no matter who they are, or how they learn and helps us achieve inclusion for all.
