The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has made a grant to Julie’s Family Learning Program in South Boston. The grant funds will be used for technology updates to deliver high quality Adult Basic Education to over 200 hybrid adult learners, replace staff workstations and purchase interactive whiteboards. The interactive whiteboards will provide students and teachers with the ability to learn collaboratively, share files, access online resources and use additional educational software and tools to improve online learning.
