Digital Learning Day 2020

Celebrate Digital Learning Year Round!

Digital Learning Day, (officially February 27th), is a nationwide celebration that started in 2012, as a way to actively spread innovative practices and to ensure that all youth have access to high-quality digital learning opportunities no matter where they live. Digital Learning Day is not about technology, it’s about learning! While one day is established to focus on digital learning, it is important to “incorporate digital learning into the fabric of schools year-round.” National Association of Elementary School Principals
