Tomorrow our class and others at CRES, will be participating in Digital Learning Day. Here's why we celebrate Digital Learning Day in Room 2:
"With so many new types of digital devices, educational software and mobile apps continuously developed, it’s hard to keep up with the latest and greatest advancements in educational technology. In some classrooms and out-of-school programs across the country, educators are doing some pretty amazing things with technology. Yet, these pockets of innovation are confined to a small number of schools and communities. Digital Learning Day was started as a way to actively spread innovative practices and ensure that all youth have access to high-quality digital learning opportunities no matter where they live.
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. 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."
I’m looking forward to this day! The students will reflect at the end of the day and the following day about what they learned by working on in digital mediums. We will even make a digital book on iPads about our pony Mokie! I will send pictures of problem-solving and cooperation I observe during the day in our normal weekly newsletter.
Digital Learning Day! Yay!
