COBB DIGITAL LEARNING DAY - THURSDAY!
You are encouraged to participate on Thursday!
HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING YOU ARE ALREADY DOING!
Cobb County educators are doing amazing things with technology in their classrooms every day. Last year we peeked into over 100 classrooms to get a glimpse of how students use digital learning. By celebrating Digital Learning Day, teachers can share the amazing things that are happening in their classrooms locally and globally through Twitter. With technology always rapidly changing, it seems impossible to know which apps, websites, and teaching practices are supporting student growth in classrooms. Cobb Digital Learning Day is a great way for teachers, parents, and other stakeholders to virtually see what is happening in Cobb County Schools by making and following Twitter posts to promote Digital Learning that is already taking place.
Digital Learning Day Thursday, February 28, 2019. Not only will we share the great learning we are experiencing, but we can also see what educators around the world are doing.
On Digital Learning Day, highlight digital learning in Cobb by sharing classroom activities on Twitter using the following hashtags:
#CobbDLDay
#CobbInTech
#DLDay
Be sure to also search these hashtags to see what other educators are doing.
On February 28, 2019, plan to join us on Twitter to share with and learn from the amazing educators across Cobb and the world as they share the digital learning taking place in their classrooms.
