Bridging the Learning
Shifts in Digital Learning
Ann Marie shared how she asked kids to tell what their dream school looks like. This allowed them to be a part of the design and learning. We can't create our future by clinging to the past...technology is playing a major role in being literate (videos, tweets, blogs, pictures). We must teach digital literacy-it's part of our future as learners.
