	Many closing schools are shifting to online learning, but this transition won’t be easy. Students need three things to engage in successful distance learning; a suitable computing device, access to high-speed internet, and digital literacy.

Pew Internet's 2019 Mobile Technology and Home Broadband Fact Sheet found that 17% of Americans are "smartphone only" internet users. However, in most cases those data plans aren’t typically sufficient for extended online learning. Rural residents face the additional challenge of living in areas that are often not well covered by high-speed cellular broadband, and where wired broadband service is either slow or non-existent.
