This is the first in a series of five briefs published by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Educational Technology on the key considerations facing educational leaders as they work to build and sustain core digital infrastructure for learning. These briefs offer recommendations to complement the fundamental infrastructure considerations outlined in the 2017 update to "Building Technology Infrastructure for Learning." They are meant to provoke conversations, challenge conventions, and deepen understanding. These briefs have been purposefully designed to be easily consumed and shared. The needs, capabilities, and expectations of technology infrastructure vary significantly by context. To help readers build solutions for their own contexts, these briefs offer examples from the field of those who faced pernicious challenges to connectivity, accessibility, cybersecurity, data privacy, and other infrastructure issues and designed solutions for their challenges. This brief considers a hypothetical scenario, outlining one of many possibilities when digital infrastructure is operating optimally. The scenario demonstrates the safe, effective, and helpful use of technology in support of learning and highlights the interplay of tools and processes, as well as the individual and organizational capacity that enables the use of technology to support students.
