I understand the purpose of having a digital learning day to raise awareness and give Arne Duncan something to talk about, but shouldn’t every day be digital learning day.
When I think about the amount of digital information I have to process and create everyday as a working professional and I think about the lack of digital information that students are struggling with and encountering, the disconnect (no pun intended) seems too big.
If our goal and purpose as educators is to prepare our students for what they will encounter outside of the classroom, then we have to step up our game.
