February 1st 2012 will be the first Digital Learning Day in the US. Here is a quotation describing 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” .

The site includes a very comprehensive description of the term ‘digital learning’ and what it encompasses, such as: online and formative assessment, adaptive software, the application of technology, participating in professional communities of practice…

The best page, however, is a Toolkit page that includes links and references for educators that help you think about how technology may strengthen instructional strategies. There are toolkits for: Teachers and Librarians, District Leaders, Parents, Getting Started, School Leaders.

Another site to check out.
