Sponsored Content


Almost two years ago, I learned of a free program called Verizon Innovative Learning. The program is focused on delivering high-quality technology and training to enable connectivity for the students that need it the most. The Verizon Innovative Learning Schools receive devices, data plans, instructional coaching, and teacher training. Through access, affordability, application, and advocacy, the program has reached over 200 Title I schools from over 30 US states.
