As schools begin to wrap up the semester and look ahead to fall, one question quietly determines how effective next year’s instruction will be:
“Can every student actually access the software their course requires?”
Even in 1:1 schools, access gaps still exist. Whether it’s a design student who can’t launch Photoshop, or a CTE student who only has lab access twice a week, teachers are still facing real barriers.
Why Software Access Still Gets in the Way
You’ve invested in devices. The curriculum is ready. But here’s what still disrupts learning:
- Labs that are shared, booked, or tied to legacy equipment
- Software that doesn’t run on Chromebooks or 1:1 student devices
- IT teams overwhelmed by install requests or troubleshooting
- Students unable to continue work at home
These friction points affect more than just convenience: they impact learning time, certification readiness, and student outcomes.
