I have concerns about how educators & #education will address the #AIGap when we haven’t done a great job with addressing the #digitaldivide & the #homeworkgap . Would Bourdieu have made room for #technologicalcapital in today’s world? #EduSky #AI

We have to close the #homeworkgap so we can close the achievement gap. Educators are doing their job but need help. @SpeakerPelosi we’re counting on you! Provide at least $5 billion for #Erate

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is killing a bipartisan program that gave free Wi-Fi to rural school kids—at no extra cost to taxpayers. The move protects telecom profits, not “free speech.” Kids lose homework access; AT&T gains. #fcc #broadband #homeworkgap
