2023 Past PresentationsIntroduction: What's Digital Inclusion?
with Teeniors founder, Trish Lopez (30 min + Q&A) Email for recording Digital literacy means access to jobs, education, social connection and community. Yet too many people still experience a massive digital divide because of their age, income, ability, language/culture or place of residence — an issue that exists across the country. Trish shares a brief history of that divide, our successes in closing the gap, and ways we can create space for those who want to be included in learning to navigate the online world. Easy to watch while you fold laundry!
