For families, digital access can mean less waiting, more learning, and greater confidence.

At Inspiredu’s recent Family Learning Workshop with Fickett Elementary School, Mrs. Lawson shared what receiving a laptop means for her family of five children. With only one laptop at home, her children have had to share time for homework and school projects. Now, with a second device, they will be able to take turns more easily and finish their work more quickly. The workshop also helped build confidence. Mrs. Lawson shared that the term “digital literacy” felt intimidating at first, but once the class began, she realized the skills were both approachable and meaningful. She learned more about tools like Google Docs and Google Workspace, how they compare with the Microsoft programs she knew, and how to better support her children’s schoolwork. She also walked away with new knowledge about online safety, including how to recognize phishing attempts, avoid suspicious links, and pay closer attention to spelling or grammar errors that may signal a scam. Most importantly, Mrs. Lawson is already thinking about what comes next. She hopes to attend more Inspiredu workshops to build her skills in areas such as healthcare technology, including using tools like MyChart. This is the impact of digital opportunity: families gaining devices, skills, and confidence to support learning at home and to navigate today’s digital world. Your support helps Inspiredu continue to provide digital skills training, devices, and resources to families across Georgia.
