EdTech Strategy Sessions: Advancing Digital Equity for All & Digital Literacy Framework Learning Modules

In the first lightning talk, the U.S. Department of Education Office of Educational Technology (OET) will discuss how adult education leaders can get involved in state digital equity planning efforts and leverage this resource and others. As states develop and implement digital equity plans under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Digital Equity Act programs, adult education has an opportunity to ensure the unique needs and assets of this sector are addressed. To support leaders with developing effective state digital equity plans, OET released a guidance resource, Advancing Digital Equity for All. In the second lightning talk, the Maryland Department of Labor will explain the genesis of the DLF Learning Modules, including why and how they were developed. They will touch on challenges and lessons learned, concluding with their vision for their future growth and implementation. Participants leave with an understanding of how, on the foundation of the digital literacy framework,these learning modules continue to apply the traits and abilities that spark resilience, creativity, and fortitude in our digital communities. Register here.
