The pandemic revealed how essential access to high-speed Internet was and the unevenness of access to it. This places children in homes on the wrong side of the digital divide at a severe disadvantage as digital access is key to effective learning because of increased use of online learning management systems, multimedia resources, online research as well as for remote schooling during climate and other emergencies. A disproportionate share of the burden resulting from this phenomenon is felt by children of color in urban areas. A long-term solution to closing the digital divide is needed. This chapter explains the scale of the problem and offers a set of recommendations to close the divide.

摘要

The pandemic revealed how essential access to high-speed Internet was and the unevenness of access to it. This places children in homes on the wrong side of the digital divide at a severe disadvantage as digital access is key to effective learning because of increased use of online learning management systems, multimedia resources, online research as well as for remote schooling during climate and other emergencies. A disproportionate share of the burden resulting from this phenomenon is felt by children of color in urban areas. A long-term solution to closing the digital divide is needed. This chapter explains the scale of the problem and offers a set of recommendations to close the divide.
