Narrowing the homework gap by connecting kids across the country to learning.
Millions of children are unable to take part in digital learning because they don’t have an internet connection or device. Through AT&T Connected Learning, we are investing in digital inclusion, literacy and learning to help connect today’s learners with skills, resources, and opportunities for success – in and out of the classroom. It’s part of our $2 billion commitment to bridge the digital divide through low-cost broadband service and community investment and builds on the $600 million we’ve committed since 2008 to programs that help millions of students across all 50 states and around the world.
Our goal is to provide 1 million K-12 students with the technology and skills needed to succeed by 2025. We’re also working to provide 1 million people with tools and resources to engage safely and positively on all screens by 2030.
Through our work with Connected Nation, we’re providing internet hotspots to students in need. We’re also launching AT&T Connected Learning Centers equipped with fiber broadband, Wi-Fi, computers, essential tech and digital learning resources to help bridge the digital divide.
Millions of students don’t have access to a connected computer at home. To advance digital inclusion, AT&T is working with organizations like Digitunity and PCs for People to provide refurbished devices, tech support and skills training.
We’re helping newly connected caregivers build skills and confidence needed to help children navigate distance learning and participate effectively and safely in today’s digital world. We’re also sharing tips and tools to help families make safe and positive connections on all screens.
Our Connected Learning portal, under development with WarnerMedia, will engage students through exclusive content that supports socio-emotional learning and critical thinking skills.
