Millions of students in the U.S. endure some type of technology inequity, such as limited access to devices, software, or reliable internet connectivity. This reality presents many challenges in blended and online learning. To reduce problems and provide the most equitable learning experience possible, it is important to implement accommodations for differing levels of technology. To achieve this goal, teachers must establish and foster communication with students and families to build strategic plans that support all students. Maintaining positive, consistent, and accessible communication and being flexible about instruction and assignments is foundational to promoting equity and inclusion.
