 Digital Learning Day 

February 5, 2014

Dear WRSD friends,

We are pleased to announce that Winnisquam Regional School Districts’ Digital Learning Day will be held on February 5, 2014 in conjunction with state events and the national event hosted by the Alliance for Excellent Education at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. This powerful grassroots campaign promotes the effective use of technology to improve outcomes and achieve higher college- and career-ready standards for all students in K–12 public schools.

Digital Learning Day promotes the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a robust digital environment every day with the goal of success in college and a career. Common-sense and effective applications of digital learning should be fully integrated into all of America’s schools, libraries, coffee shops, and homes to promote life-long learning and good citizenship.

WRSD agrees and asks that you consider planning classroom-based activities for your students to get involved. Activities and events can be as simple or complicated as you like. Feel free to use Digital Learning Day’s interactive lesson, host a technology display to showcase student work, check out the teacher toolkits for ideas, or simply try something new that better integrates technology into good instructional practice. Regardless of your level of comfort with instructional technology, Digital Learning Day has something for everyone.

In addition to the national event and its related activities, all fifty states and DC are making similar plans. This is a great opportunity to use the momentum from these national and state-awareness campaigns to highlight our district- and school-level digital learning efforts to media, community leaders, parents, and local policymakers.

We are promoting a special parent community 

event on the evening of

Wednesday, February 5th at 6:30pm in the HS Cafetorium

“Google & Chromebooks, What’s all the fuss?”

This hands-on Chromebook experience will showcase 

several of our classrooms’ student learning activities using  

Google Apps for Education

Most importantly, we urge you to give it a try and …

• add your voice in support of digital learning in schools;
• plan activities for your classroom;
• share your plans by adding your event to the map; and
• spread the word by asking your colleagues and friends to join the movement

Thank you for supporting digital learning!
