Verizon is including parents in classroom learning, further helping to promote digital literacy.

Any parent of school-aged children can relate to the challenges of trying to remember geometry lessons from decades ago to help their children with homework.

But Verizon is finding that with their Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program — where classrooms have access to a huge array of digital-first curriculum — parents are just as eager to learn alongside their students.

This desire to actively participate in student learning, particularly amid a moment of growing reliance on new technologies that may be foreign to some parents, can create a positive impact that extends far beyond the classroom.
