Digital Equity with Beth Holland S1E1
In the debut episode of the CoSN podcast, Beth Holland, CoSN’s Digital Equity & Rural Project Director, talks about a number of topics relevant to technology leaders in education.
Among other themes, Holland discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and its importance to equity [1:05], understanding the continuum of equity and how to make implementation practical [8:57], the reasons districts should consider students as stakeholders [16:53], and why we need to create low-risk, low-threat opportunities in the digital space so kids have a safe environment to learn from mistakes [23:05].
