Throughout the season, they'll be interviewing local and national experts, IT directors, teachers and more, delving into the complexities of this critical issue. To kick off the season, Matt and Dani turn to the community and educators to gather their definitions of digital equity. Join them as they uncover the diverse perspectives that shape our understanding of equity in the digital age.
