Location: 503 / Duckabush
Digital Equity

Target Audience: Instructional/Educational Technology Leaders; IT Manager/Network Administrators; Large/Medium District Leaders

This session emphasizes National Ed Tech Plan's goal to bridge digital divides and foster inclusive, engaging, and accessible learning environments. Presenters will clarify misconceptions about UDL and assistive technology, aligning with the January 2024 Assistive Technology Guidance. They will also address the April 2024 Department of Justice final rule, mandating that educational digital resources be accessible to students with disabilities. Learn how these updates impact schools, educators, and vendors, and gain tools to create inclusive educational experiences.

Key Take Aways:

  • The key components of the 2024 NETP and its focus on digital equity.
  • How UDL principles can be applied to bridge the divides in digital use, design, and access.
  • Practical strategies for ensuring digital learning resources meet the new Department of Justice requirements.
