As technology continues to advance, it is vital that schools adapt and provide learning opportunities to educators and students, ensuring that technology integration is ethical, equitable, and appropriate. Low-income students and students of color are often left behind in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and technological advancements due to a digital divide that persists for many marginalized communities. Many educators and state and district leaders still have questions about the best approaches to implement emerging artificial intelligence technologies and provide support for students with disabilities who continue to lack digital access.

This series highlights how technology can either enhance or hinder student learning and long-term success and provides policy recommendations to improve the accessibility and use of technology in K-12 schools.
