Navigating Digital Spending, Compliance, and Equity in a PostPandemic World - Digital Insight by Lightspeed


IT and Instructional Tech, play a key role in supporting digital learning in and out of school. With budgets shrinking and ESSER funding running out, districts need a systematic and reliable way to manage usage, data privacy, and help C&L make decisions on what to keep vs what to
discontinue during annual budget reviews.  Taking into consideration the growing impact of unequal off-campus connectivity, it is undeniable that districts need better real-time data to support effective digital learning initiatives. 
 

 

Join us for a discussion about how Lightspeed Digital Insight is the tool for the job.  Formerly CatchOn and now including our new Digital Equity module (the first ever comprehensive tool of its kind) districts now have instant visibility into device and internet access issues outside of school to ensure digital equity for all.
