Digital Learning Day is a chance for you to showcase how you are integrating technology into your classroom and at your school to improve student learning experiences and outcomes.

What technology is being used by students to expand their learning experience? Chatterpix? Kahoot? Mystery Skype? Collaborating with a Google Doc? Interactive games from Discovery Education?

Not sure about which digital tool to showcase? Go to the Digital Learning Day website and check out the activities, online resources, and lesson ideas.

Participate today by sharing your classroom activity or school event on the map at digitallearningday.org.
