Digital media and technology are woven into many parts of students’ lives, both in and out of school. Young people use digital tools to learn, express themselves, seek information, and participate in online communities. As a result, students bring their digital habits and interactions into the classroom every day.
Findings from a recent research study conducted by The Learning Policy Institute (LPI) have found that newly funded community schools saw positive student outcomes regarding test scores, attendance, and reduced suspensions for all students, with particularly strong gains among historically underserved students.
