Professional Organization Review
Digital Promise stands for expanding opportunities for learners, especially those who are
marginalized and underserved. They focus on various aspects of education, including increasing
access to high-speed internet for K-12 students and providing opportunities for adult learners to
earn micro-credentials to advance their careers. Their core mission is to shape the future of
learning and create equitable education systems by combining research, practice, and technology.
Their work emphasizes the importance of digital technologies in enabling powerful learning
experiences and centers equity in all their initiatives.
Digital promise collaborates with educators, researchers, technology leaders, and
communities. They work with a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the education ecosystem,
including K-12 students, adult learners, and educators. Their target audience is diverse,
encompassing those involved in education research, technology integration, and policymaking.
I would want to be a part of the Digital Promise organization because they show a deep
passion improving education, advancing equitable learning opportunities, and harnessing the
potential of technology in education. Being a part of this organization would allow me to
contribute to shaping the future of learning, engaging in meaningful research, and working
towards more equitable education systems.

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION REVIEW 3
AASA primarily targets educational leaders, specifically school superintendents and other
school system leaders. It provides a platform for these professionals to collaborate, access
professional learning opportunities, publications, and resources, and engage in advocacy efforts
at the national level.
I would want to be a part of AASA because it provides a network of peers and resources
tailored to the role you are in. AASA’s advocacy efforts and representation on Capitol Hill can be
appealing to leaders who want to influence educational policy and support their communities.
Being a part of AASA allows educational leaders to have a collective voice in shaping the
direction of public education in the United States.
For educators, the Digital Promise organization would be the most beneficial. Digital
Promise provides innovative teaching practices and the integration of technology in education. It
offers resources, research, and programs that can help educators stay up to date with the latest
educational technologies and pedagogical approaches. Digital Promise can be useful for
classroom teachers who want to explore new methods for delivering instruction, incorporating
digital tools, and promoting equitable access to education.
