1/2 The Big Device Drop. I’m so proud to be part of today, delivering 550 digital devices across the county to schools. It’s because of you that this is possible and I would like thank everyone who has helped to close the #digitaldivide in Bedfordshire. #digitalpoverty #tech4all

Thank you for sharing @rach_hopkins & a shame we didn’t get to hear your powerful words today in the house. Even more so now devices are needed across the county for students who are at home & being asked to include themselves in #remotelearning without a #digitaldevice #Tech4All
“Digital access is not a luxury. It is a basic requirement of learning.” I was not selected to speak in today's Opposition Day debate on Access to Remote Education, but I want to share what I would have said. #EveryChildOnline #RemoteLearning

@PEL_ICT have quickly identified and found a resolution for the issue experienced with #DfE Laptops and rectified rapidly for our clients. Happy to assist if anyone else experiences this issue. #TechFamily

Great to see more students being given the opportunity to fully participate in home learning. Thank you @Challney_Girls for distributing devices and ensuring your students can reach their full potential #community #digitallearning #homeschooling
When our families find it difficult to come to school to collect resources, we simply go to them. #community #remotelearning

We are delighted that almost all pupils are now ‘set up’ for remote digital learning. Parents, check your parentmail over the next couple of days, for how to contact us for further support or to overcome your teething troubles at home. We are here to help! @WeareXMA @AntonBeehl

The COVID-19 pandemic means #digitalinclusion matters more than ever for families' learning, money and wellbeing. As we head for another #lockdown, *NOW* ⏰ is the time for UK Gov to support them, to level up opportunity 🎚️⚖️, and help 🤝 millions who are digitally excluded 💡⚡️

A great initiative - sharing for some of the schools or individuals who might not know about the scheme #digitalpoverty #bridgingthedigitaldivide
We still have free data SIMS available to help disadvantaged children with their education. Share and contact your local schools to apply ⬇️

According to @TeachFirst, 4 out of 5 schools with the poorest pupils do not have enough devices and internet access to ensure all pupils can keep learning from home. We must ensure that every child has the resources they need to continue their education.

We are pleased to hear that #digitalpoverty has become part of the discussion during this evenings briefing. We only hope that all children have access to #digitaldevices and adequate #wifi
No child should be excluded from remote learning because they don't have access to IT devices or broadband. Pleased to sign @Siobhain_Mc's letter to @BorisJohnson that presses the government to ensure that all children can continue learning from home. #DigitalDivide #Schools

The Prime Minister has pledged to distribute more devices to those that need them as we enter another national lockdown. Good to hear that it has become part of the conversation for students who otherwise would be unable to participate in their online lessons. #digitalpoverty

#Digitalexclusion is a live issue within #legalaid /#accesstojustice at the moment and we would imagine similar concerns are being raised within the #education sector. Please do consider donating 👀👇👍😊
We have children who will be off school for an unknown amount of time, all needing access to #digitaldevices. How Can You Help? 1. Can you donate? Visit our website (link in bio) for our @JustGiving page 2. Can you donate a device? Please check our website for more info
