Digital Learning News Brief

Digital Learning Platform Spotlight
The Digital Learning Platform is comprised of six components:
- Learning Expectations
- Best Practices – Strategies
- Best Practice – Structures
- Authentic Tasks and Products
- Feedback and Assessment
- Professional Learning
Together these components create a high quality, blended learning environment that engages students and promotes student learning and success. While it is important that all of these components are viewed as a whole and together achieve maximum impact and results, for the purpose of understanding we will view them individually over the next several weeks.
Learning Expectations are the skills and fluencies that students must master to be successful now and in the future (i.e. TEKS and Process Skills in all content areas; critical thinking; problem solving; creativity; communication; collaboration; and digital citizenship).
In the classroom, Learning Expectations are evidenced when students achieve mastery of content at work stations using iPads, Chromebooks, computers, and other technologies. When students collaborate with peers or experts using Edmodo, Google Drive or other solutions that make it possible to work together without being face to face, they are utilizing skills that foster mastery and success now and in the future.
