Can you imagine education without technology? In order to prepare the next generation for college and for their place in the workforce, it is very important that students and teachers embrace the benefits that modern instructional tools can provide.
This is why thousands of educators answer the “call to action” and join the celebration of Digital Learning Day each February. A national event designed to allow educators to gather virtually to share and discuss the successes and challenges that they are experiencing with integrating digital tools in their classrooms.
To help build this awareness and to promote enhanced instruction with modern technology tools, join us by participating in national Digital Learning Day which is scheduled for February 5, 2014! The online event will feature demonstrations, interactive lessons, presentations, resource sharing, tips, and even tricks designed for classroom educators that possess a passion for incorporating powerful digital tools into their lessons.
Here are some ways you can participate…
- Take the Digital Learning Day Pledge
- Use the Digital Storytelling Challenge
- View the Digital Lesson Idea Bank
- Participate in the Virtual Learning Conference (Live from the Library of Congress)
- Tweet out announcements from your classroom using the #DLDay and #emints tags!
I hope to see you participating and making a difference with digital learning on Digital Learning Day!
