Digital Learning Day --Why Should You Try Something New?
Because Your Students Will Thank You.
My students thank me all the time for the new “stuff” we are
doing this year. Go ahead--take the plunge! Believe me, if you have access to
any sort of technology (even one device), then do it. That one tablet or laptop
can open up a window to a universe of instructional opportunities. Your
students will want to get to that tech center.
Digital Learning Day is ultimately about
bringing equal opportunity to our classrooms, regardless of location or socioeconomic
status. It is about the importance of having access to Wi-Fi and up-to-date
technology in our schools. Many schools have technology that is not working or that
is out-of-date. State and local governments are now focusing on getting it all
fixed so that our school children can succeed in the 21st century.
Here's the challenge: try a new
lesson that focuses on discovery, analysis, and exploration. Give your students
the gift of a new opportunity by using Google Classroom, MS OneDrive, or an
App. And don’t forget to share what you are doing in your classroom on social
media to celebrate Digital Learning Day with #futureready. To help you get started, we’ve teamed
up to share an amazing selection of blog posts and classroom activities that
are designed to propel you and your students into your digital learning adventure.
