It frames a “digital use divide,” “digital design divide,” and “digital access divide,” then provides targeted recommendations to reduce gaps through universal design for learning, educator and learning-environment redesign, and improvements to digital infrastructure, availability, affordability, adoption, and digital health, safety, and citizenship. It also includes guidance on procurement, contracting, licensing, and

leadership and guidance of Roberto J. Rodríguez, Assistant Secretary for the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, Kristina Ishmael, Deputy Director of the Office of Educational Technology, Bernadette Adams, Senior Policy Advisor for the Office of Educational Technology, and Zac Chase, Digital Equity Fellow for the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education. Support for creating this document was provided by a coalition of organizations led by SETDA, including InnovateEDU, Learning Forward, Project Tomorrow, and Whiteboard Advisors.  \nZac Chase of the Office of Educational Technology and Susan M. Bearden of InnovateEDU led development and writing. Other contributing writers were Beth Holland and Ellen Ullman. Ji Soo Song of the Office of Educational Technology provided support and technical assistance.  \nJulia Fallon, SETDA’s Executive Director, provided oversight and direction for SETDA’s leadership in the project’s primary contractor role. Also with SETDA, Sarah Edson served as project manager, and Jessica Chen provided administrative support. Ellen Ullman, Derek Baird, and Jonathan Yang helped with project communications, and former SETDA staff member, Bud Hunt, played a crucial role in developing the project proposal.  \nJulie Evans and Michelle Green, from Project Tomorrow, and Melinda George and ","cbCaibwYF5OBvluB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibwYF5OBvluB","pdf",14972893,113,"English","# A Call to Action for Closing the Digital Access, Design, and Use Divides\n## Introduction\n## Recommendations for Closing the Use Divide\n## Recommendations for Closing the Design Divide\n## Recommendations for Closing the Access Divide\n## Conclusion\n# Appendices\n## Additional Digital Use Divide Examples\n## Additional Digital Design Divide Examples\n## Additional Digital Access Divide Examples\n## NETP24 Guides for State, District, School, and Educators","[{\"question\":\"What digital divides does the plan focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on three divides: the digital use divide, the digital design divide, and the digital access divide, each with dedicated recommendations.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the plan address learner needs when closing the design and use divides?\",\"answer\":\"It uses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to frame active use for all learners and provides considerations for educators, including example technology-supported units.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics are covered under closing the access divide?\",\"answer\":\"The access section covers accessibility, physical learning spaces, digital infrastructure (including beyond schools), availability, affordability, adoption, and digital health, safety, and citizenship, including student data privacy and federal privacy laws for K-12 education.\"}]","A Call to Action for Closing the Digital Access, Design, and Use Divides - 2024 National Educational Technology Plan | PDF",1792059983,285]
