DCSD Digital Learning Day 2016
Highlighting the Teachers and Students in Darlington County!
What Is Digital Learning Day?
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.

Michelle Grantham - CES
Mrs. Grantham's class connected with Mrs. Goodwin's (BES) class and played a Kahoot together through Google Hangouts. Her students used Schoology to view videos and songs about a decimal lesson we had done the day before. They viewed these independently with headphones as they finished their math test.

The picture is part two of an ongoing project that spans 3 units. Students have used Google Docs to create a nation - complete with type of gov't, Dec of Ind, and soon a Constitution. They also used Pages to create a flag for their nation and Schoology to receive the project info and submit their work.

Fraction App
This student is using the Pizza Fraction App. I assigned all students Simplifying Fractions lesson to preview what I would be teaching that day. It helped for students to already have had prior knowledge of simplifying when I went to teach the lesson that day.
Black History Month Project
Students are currently working independently on a Black History Month Research Project. Currently the students are gathering the data from the search engine safesearchkids.com Next week students will be creating a Timeline, Trading Card, and ChatterPix on iPads using research.
Padlet
Students are using the Padlet App to share thoughts and/or answer questions the teacher may post. It is an online graffiti wall. It is a chance for students to express thoughts and experiences live with classmates.
Suzie Goodwin (BES)
Students used a QR code to access website on African American Inventors. The students then read and took notes about 1 inventor. They then made a popplet about the inventor, including the birthdate, invention, a picture, and death or current occupation.
