Digital Learning Day :: Awesome Ideas!

Digital Learning Day is February 1.   
What exactly is Digital Learning Day?
It is an organized effort to encourage teachers to use digital technology in their classrooms on Wednesday, February 1.  I hope you have clicked on the link above.  It has some excellent ideas to use in a classroom.  

1.  Your blog assignment for this week is for you to choose a digital tool you could use in your site school classroom.  You will hyperlink the link or embed on to your blog.  Explain how you would use this tool in your classroom.  Explore the web tool and be prepared to show how to use it in class next week. Include if there is a free version and details of how to sign up for use.

2.  Describe any digital activities any of your teachers used in your classes on Wednesday, February 1.  Be specific.  What type of digital tool they used and how it was used.

If you are so inclined, here is a video contest you can enter.  The video is only 45 seconds.  Check it out!  If you decide to enter the video contest, embed it to your blog.

This blog will be due on Monday,  February 6.  Be prepared to demonstrate how to use the digital tool on February 10 and 17.  If there are too many duplications, I will assign a new tool for you to try.
Remember the rubric.  The name of your blog for this week will be "Digital Learning Day"

PS:  I have linked some good websites and blogs as well as some other useful digital tools (in the upper right corner) for you to use for activities in your classrooms.  Please look at them.
