But they don’t provide equitable access to innovation.
While some students go home with just a Chromebook, others eschew the simple laptop and log into their desktop. A powerful processor and graphics card enables them to go deeper into programs introduced at school in CTE, graphics, multimedia, computer science, and other classes. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Autodesk, Blender, Project Lead the Way, and Visual Studio need a standard Windows or Mac computer. Or, these lucky students may do competitive gaming, now an avenue to a college scholarship. Students with just Chromebooks or low-power laptops or home computers are missing out again on opportunities.

Application Streaming from the Cloud Delivers Equity
Make students innovators 24-hours a day
With the cloud, Infrastructure as a Service – IaaS, that opportunity gap disappears. A Chromebook or any home computer with an internet connection can tap into all the powerful applications streaming from powerful computers in the AWS cloud. For example, Fife School District deployed AWS Workspaces and AppStream 2.0 to “make students innovators 24-hours a day,” and it “fills a void in equity in education.”
Tech Reformers offers AWS AppStream 2.0 on a per-student subscription basis. Districts simply tell us what app they want and for how many students. So, districts can focus on applications and not infrastructure or support.
