179 While more schools are benefiting from improved internet connectivity,180 the growing pervasiveness of blended learning approaches is illuminating new gaps between those with and without high-speed broadband; especially in countries that emphasize homework, students are increasingly expected to engage in learning activities outside of the classroom. For students from economically disadvantaged households, the availability of broadband and sufficient computing devices is not a given. This facet of digital equity is also referred to as the Homework Gap,181 and solving this challenge will take concerted efforts between policymakers and school leaders. In the US, President Obama recently announced the ConnectALL initiative, which promises high-speed broadband and technology access for every American. Further, internet and technology providers such as Google are enabling greater access in low-income areas by providing entire cities with gigabit fiber connectivity.182
