Paper Abstract:
|
This research study explored the issue of equity in education and technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. A virtual
forum was created that included a panel of educators from across the United States to discuss educational challenges related
to equity and the use of technology during their transition from physical classrooms to the virtual classroom setting. This
research was intended to provide insight into the perceptions of some educators regarding equity in education and
technology as students received instruction from home and teachers engaged a variety of online platforms to deliver
instruction. In this study an interview protocol was used to facilitate action research with a focus group of educators in the
context of a two hour and twenty minute Zoom session that generated relevant responses from participants. Effective
communication from school leaders with educational stakeholder groups emerged as a major theme among study
participants. |
