Twenty-eight states have signed up to partner on Feb. 1: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Participating states will customize their own celebrations, which might include a showcase of students’ digital learning work, digital lesson plan contests for teachers, and new or promising digital learning practices.
The Indiana Department of Education (IDE) will celebrate Digital Learning Day with a 29-day Web 2.0 Challenge, which will unveil a new resource, along with tips and tutorials, each day on the IDE blog. Educators are encouraged to post ideas about how they will use these resources to boost student learning and engagement. School districts throughout the state also are encouraged to post short videos about their digital learning successes to IDE’s YouTube channel.
“Educators all over Indiana work every day to advance and expand their efforts to take advantage of technology to improve student outcomes,” said Candice Dodson, director of eLearning at the Indiana Department of Education. “Digital Learning Day gives us—and all states—a chance to shine a light on the exciting ways digital learning is happening in schools.”
Companies including Intel Corp., Google, and SMART Technologies also have signed on.
During Digital Learning Day, AEE will highlight schools and teachers that are using technology effectively to improve teaching and learning. Teachers, librarians, principals, administrators, and others interested in making the most of digital learning are encouraged to participate in the day’s activities.
