Welcome—The Children's Partnernship—Measuring Digital Opportunity for America's Children
Welcome—The Children's Partnernship—Measuring Digital Opportunity for America's Children:
"Measuring Digital Opportunity for America's Children is a new research report released by The Children's Partnership.
It is the first-ever look across four key areas to see whether Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is helping children 1) improve educational achievement, 2) lead healthier lives, 3) increase economic opportunity, and 4) participate in their communities."
