> Those involved in education MUST be educated that not everyone has 
> access to internet connections that city people take for granted.

> If you are a teacher, lecturer etc and have students living the 
> ‪#‎datadrought‬ , have you spread the word about this issue ? Have you 
> informed other staff at your school / uni that this is a significant 
> issue for students ? We want everyone to know about the #datadrought 
> and the effects it is having on learning in regional areas, so please 
> if you can, spread the #datadrought love
>
> Here's some tips:
> 1. Check the size of your emails you are sending to students/families.
> 2. Realise that many online homework sites are very data hungry
> 3. Understand that researching on the net is limiting for many 
> students (how about giving them a couple of pre-researched links 
> instead of the whole of google)
> 4. Understand that many students have unreliable speeds and drop out 
> issues
