In a world where everything has gone
digital, from our social interactions to
our workplace transactions, it's time to
give our schools and our students access
to the vast opportunities of digital
technology.
Education, policy and tech leaders across
Massachusetts have come together in an
unprecedented level of collaboration to
enable wireless broadband access at 47
schools across the Commonwealth. That
means 25,000 students will get access to
technology, skills and new ways of
learning that make them better students
today and more competitive when applying for college and jobs in the future.
So how does it work?
Massachusetts put up five million
dollars to support digital technology in
schools. School districts across the
state applied and 14 of them received
grants in the first year.
Schools pay for their choice of devices,
teacher training and access for students
with disabilities, giving them the
freedom to decide how to support their
students in the best way possible. The state covers part of the cost and applies for
technology discounts on behalf of the
schools, maximizing your tax dollars to
support next-generation teaching and learning.
With only one round completed opportunities for raising the standard of learning are vast.

digital.
