This combined with lack of access of devices and internet for low income families creates a big opportunity loss for many students. Providing "how to" videos in different languages and supplying hot spot and devices to all student populations helps mitigate this divide. ]]> 2022-08-16 19:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tpham39/1lxz5mwwrbft3bmr/wish/2262567894 Families new to the community https://padlet.com/tpham39/1lxz5mwwrbft3bmr/wish/2271994680 When families come to my community they are often fleeing a country in unrest.

We have a number of families who cannot afford internet at home and the process to get help is difficult or they don't qualify for help but still cannot afford internet. There are also a number of Mckinney Vento kids who are homeless, living in cars or couch surfing and unable to access internet. The second part is areas that do not have good internet services. Some are very rural, wooded areas with spotty internet connections at best. This makes it difficult for students and adults alike to access services online. ]]> 2022-10-13 18:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tpham39/1lxz5mwwrbft3bmr/wish/2339260648 Hands on.. https://padlet.com/tpham39/1lxz5mwwrbft3bmr/wish/2339263093 I feel like a hands on class or training would help.
