There are millions of Arizonans who have broadband available to them but who have not adopted broadband in their homes. Indeed, in terms of the number of Arizonans affected, the Adoption Gap is approximately three times larger than the Availability Gap (a total of 750,000). What can we do as changemakers to increase adoption and close this gap? Join the Institute for Digital Progress, Arizona State University, Arizona Commerce Authority, Sun Corridor Network and a coalition of government, business and education leaders to address vital changes needed to the infrastructure.    In this virtual roundtable, collaborate with local changemakers by state regions to advance a range of policy options and resource investments to overcome the complex challenges of the Adoption Gap. Break out topics will include: digital readiness across different communities of need, affordability, device availability, policy for participant inclusion and marketing and public relations strategy. Looking out to 2030, together we’ll craft a concrete plan of action to achieve greater digital equity.   This work is made possible by SRP (Salt River Project), TEP (Tucson Electric Power), WWT (World Wide Technology) and Siklu.  https://asu.zoom.us/j/86057781092

We invite you to attend the 2021 ShapingEDU Unconference, which will take place virtually at our haunted inn of wicked problems on July 20-23, 2021. Together, we will address a looming labyrinth of challenges, which include learning in the face of disruption, ethos and bias in data, student voice in education journeys and more. These are called “wicked problems” because they are complex challenges with underlying competing values.
