The pandemic and change in the schooling environment has highlighted the striking gap in access to education, and lack of equity within the country’s schooling systems.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 11, 2020
As schools continue to navigate the unprecedented circumstances brought about by COVID-19, it is more important now than ever before that we reach educators and school decision-makers to advocate for the best technologies to be implemented in schools. To help raise awareness of the need for this technology and support for the nation’s students and educators, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of its cross-platform campaign “Education Technology.”
EdTech, which was once seen as a luxury, is no longer optional. Schools must adapt if they do not want their students to fall further behind. Globally, current K-12 students are expected to miss an average of two years worth of academic skills because they lack access to the necessary technology. The pandemic and change in the schooling environment has highlighted the striking gap in access to education, and lack of equity within the country’s schooling systems. Schools and most parents do not have the financial ability to overcome these gaps for each individual student, which is why investing in education technology is more important than it has ever been before to reach these students in an engaging way.
The print portion of “Education Technology” will be distributed in today’s USA Today and also at the virtual ISTE EdTech Conference ISTE’s virtual conference. The digital component is distributed nationally through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.

This campaign was made possible with the support of ISTE, CoSN, NASSP, AASA, National PTA, Vera A., Gemiini, Carley Knobloch, Vicki Davis, Keri @ Enchanted Kinder Garden, Education Advanced, Digital Promise, Verizon, NCSS, SETDA, Common Sense Media, Pearson, Kajeet, Discovery Education, and Extron.
