Digital
Learning Day
Students Stay Home While
Teachers Train with Technology
 State Superintendent Tony Evers
has proclaimed Wednesday, February 1 as
Digital Learning Day (DLD) in Wisconsin. Wisconsin will
join the National Alliance for Excellent Education in this effort.
Coincidently, this date is the same day that BFASA students have off
while their teachers train with technology. On Wednesday,
teachers will collaborate to "Meet the Challenges of the 21st
Century" during their BFASA in-service. Training sessions include
working with Moodle, downloading e-books, and creating content for
SmartBoards. Students at all five BFASA schools have Wednesday off.
 Digital
Learning Day is a nationwide celebration of innovative teaching and
learning through digital media and technology that engages students
and provides them with a rich, personalized educational experience.
On Digital Learning Day, a majority of states, hundreds of school
districts, thousands of teachers, and more than a million students
will encourage the innovative use of technology by trying something
new, showcasing success, kicking off project-based learning, or
focusing on how digital tools can help improve student outcomes."
