Digital Learning Day 2016: How will you participate?
Digital Learning Day 2016 is Wednesday, 17 February. The event, sponsored by the Alliance for Excellent Education, is designed to showcase successful digital teaching and learning in our classrooms, and encourage all teachers to use innovative instructional technology to improve student outcomes. As the Alliance says,
"Digital Learning Day is not about technology, it's about learning."
You can plan a special activity or event for that day and register it for free on the Alliance's Digital Learning Day website. That website also has information about a contests and online resources. You can follow Digital Learning Day on Twitter @OfficialDLDay.
This video (2:23) from 2015 would be a good introduction to Digital Learning Day to share with your colleagues and administrators.
