The digital divide in education is closing – but it’s opened upa participation gap. Even though students have more access to technology than ever before, they still lack qualityopportunities to use technology in a meaningful way.
I directed/wrote this explainer video on the participation gap to highlight how Verizon Innovative Learning Labs (VIL) is creating programs that challenge students to use technology to create, not just consume. I was thrilled to collaborate with animation director Ariel Costa, whose signature mixed-media style paired perfectly with the educational insights provided by Belinda Harris, lead program designer at VIL.
