Students Share How Access to Digital Learning Tools Sets Them Up for Success

SDGs Impacted

Verizon Innovative Learning is an award-winning education initiative addressing barriers to digital inclusion. We asked students at Mater Academy Bay Middle School and High School, a Verizon Innovative Learning school, to share what it’s really like to attend a school where connected tablets and innovative learning apps have replaced paper and pencil assignments in various subject electives.

Impact / Outcome
Five students discussed how experience with cutting-edge technology and digital tools will set them up for success in their future careers. “I’m learning with technology, about technology, so it’s just preparing me more for the future that’s to come,” says a junior student.
