Digital Learning Day is coming up. Let us help you celebrate!
There's been plenty of buzz recently on Twitter and other social networks about Digital Learning Day, which is February 1, 2012. This awareness campaign, organized by the Alliance for Excellent Education, includes big name sponsors such as Google, Intel, and Smart Technologies, among many others.
As My Big Campus users, you're already on the forefront of digital learning: Students can use the My Big Campus library to find tutorials, or to research topics and projects. Teachers can assign and assess schoolwork entirely online. IT managers, school administrators, and curriculum directors can feel comfortable that all My Big Campus content is safely filtered and monitored. Most importantly, however, My Big Campus is a digital learning community where students can collaborate inside and outside the classroom, and educators can build professional learning communities with their peers, regardless of location.
Digital Learning Day is a way for you, as educators, to reach out to your peers, and to the community around you, and encourage them to try one new thing. Sign up on the Digital Learning Day web site to find resources to share with parents, libraries, community organizations and after-school programs.
It's also a day to share your success stories and learning experiences. In support of these activities, we've created a Topic on My Big Campus to host your Digital Learning Day ideas, discussions and resources.
