DIGITAL LEARNING DAY FEBRUARY 5TH
Watch the short video above from the National Digitial Learning Day initiative.
Plan events for February 5th that will use digital learning in some way. Whether it is a quick phone poll using Poll Everywhere or allowing students to take images that represent something you are learning in class and tweet them with the proper hashtag, give technology a chance on February 5th.
You can sign up to join the national activities at http://digitallearningday.org/. They also have a great bank of lesson plans and Tips of the Day that will help you with this day.
