Digital Learning Day is February 5

Wisconsin’s Digital Learning Day will be held Wednesday, February 5, 2014, in conjunction with the national event hosted by the Alliance for Excellent Education at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

The DPI hopes administrators, teachers, and librarians will:

• Submit stories showing how innovative digital instructional strategies have positively transformed learning for Wisconsin students
• Join the effort, stay informed, and spread the word
• Plan an event (classroom activity, district-level initiative, announcement of new technology program, etc.), then tell the rest of the state and/or add it to the national map

Wisconsin is also marking the day by beginning to transition the Wisconsin Educational Technology (WETECH) email list to a Google Community. The DPI is beginning to move from traditional email lists to Google Communities to improve personalization, peer-to-peer interaction, archiving and search functionality.

The national Digital Learning Day event will feature district-level experts who have successfully navigated the digital learning shift, ready to answer questions from educators across the country. Video footage from this event will be available to all Digital Learning Day participants.
