It's February 22, 2018! It's easy to participate!
About Digital Learning Day
It's a national movement - celebrated this year on February 22nd!
Started in 2012, Digital Learning Day has provided a powerful venue for education leaders to highlight great teaching practice and showcase innovative teachers, leaders, and instructional technology programs that are improving student outcomes. This grassroots effort blossomed into a massive nationwide celebration as teachers realized that Digital Learning Day is not about technology, it’s about learning. It’s not about laying off teachers for laptops, it’s about enhancing the role of the teacher in America’s classrooms. Digital Learning Day promotes the effective use of modern day tools afforded to every other industry to improve the learning experience in K-12 public schools.
WTPS is participating!
We're registered as a district and we're on the #DLD18 map! To make our district shine and to celebrate our awesomeness, we'd really love to have you contribute:
- On February 22, 2018, add something techy and fun to your lesson plans for Digital Learning Day! Be sure it supports and enhances your learning objectives. It doesn't have to last all day long - it can be a small part of one lesson. So many of you are already using tech...this is just a way to celebrate it! We're hoping many of you will be brave and try something brand new with your students.
