Challenge One
A year of remote learning has taken a toll on students, families, educators, and staff. Maine wants to bring greater awareness to the importance of mental health and provide support to bolster the mental wellness of students and staff. How can technology be used to do so?
Challenge Two
The need for universal connectivity was identified as the top priority of educators across the state in order to prevent learning loss during the COVID disruption. How can we ensure that every Maine student has access to a device and an internet connection?
Challenge Three
With students learning from home, peer collaboration online through technology saw a dynamic increase during the pandemic. How can (and why should) online collaboration become a permanent part of learning when school returns to “normal”?
Challenge Four
The pandemic has allowed us to rethink the entire system of education in Maine. What if schools as we know them no longer existed? How might technology be used to create exciting and meaningful learning experiences that help young people develop the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career?
