  1. To me digital learning is using any sort of technology to do your school work on like how we use laptops. I think one thing we could do to promote digital learning is to show if it really helps us any better to do our work on laptops or any other type of technology.

  2. I think that it is important to set a day aside for digital learning for kids who don't get the chance to be around a lot of technology so that they can learn how to use technology whenever they get the chance to use it they know how to. I also think that is important for people who use technology all the time to have a day to learn more about the technology that they use everyday so that they use it to it's full ability.
    To me digital learning can be anything that is used to teach you something new. Such as computers, Smart Boards, Kindles/Nooks ect.
    Other things that schools can do to promote digital learning is to use it as much as possible so that kids can get used to it and want to use it more.

    1. I agree with Emily because it would be nice to show kids that don't really have the money to using the technology that we use today. Some kids feel poor then other kids because they don't get to see or even use the technology that we do. We should also have a day set aside for digital learning because you might just have technology doesn't really mean they know exactly how to use it. So not just showing other people technology, you can teach them too.

  3. I think it is important to set aside a day dedicated to focusing on digital learning because, technology helps students learn better. If they do not get to use technology very often, at least one day will make learning not so boring. To me it means a fun way to learn.

  4. i feel that it is important so that way we have a taste of how it would be to have a technology based class. learning with technology means to me that you can learn more with the internet at your finger tips. do projects and have a way to talk to teacher with out physically talking.

  5. I think it is important to set aside a day for focusing on digital learning because using technology helps increase focus and teaching resources. To me digital learning means to have a day of technology where you use some kind of technology device to learn more about a topic. Some other things we can do to promote digital learning is demonstrate how we use technology in our classrooms to enhance instructions and engage students in learning like they are doing in Arlington, Virginia.

  6. I feel that it is a good thing to set a day aside for digital learning because it makes us think that we are lucky to have computers, phones, ect. Digital learning means that we are able to use computers in school and at home. Computers are good for learning things that we dont know and or the teachers arent sure about.

  7. I think it is a important day. I don't think its important enough to say its a holiday because its just one day. I think it is important that we use technology in schools. Digital learning means that we use technology in our schools. I think if we just focus on not using paper and instead using the computer or something else.

  10. Well digital learning is working with any part of technology, whether it be a calculator, or computer. Us people that have this kind of technology should be thankful that we have this stuff.

  11. Yes I think it is important to have digital learning so we can use technology for one day. But there's another advantage, the teachers who don't use it they can use it

  12. I think it is an important day also because you get to you technology if you have never used it. Also if you have a boring class.

  13. I fell like its very important to set aside a day for just technology becasue lets face it everyday we are using technology more and more because it fits are needs and works very good. Digital learing to me means that its a new and better way of learing and most everybody likes it including me. If it were up to me i would have it everyday because i love technology. Without technology a lot of us would be nothing. I belive that everbody should use digital learning.

  14. I think that digital learning is a good thing to do, And i think that we should not have just one day dedicated to digital learning because there are people that don't get the chance to use laptops, or to use a smart board. I think that some kids would like to learn more if they had technology to make it more interesting. I personalty like to work with laptops because it makes it more easier for me to do my work. And it may also be easier for people who are digital learners because they can focus more. So I think that it is very useful and that we should have more than one day dedicated to Digital learning.

  16. I think it is impotent to learn digital everyday not only one day. Because then the students can learn more about computers and how to make websites and presentation. And learning can be fun and student will pay more attention. We came promote digital by putting more lessons on the computer and use computers everyday.

  17. Yes, I think its Important to have digital Learning Because Technology is easier than Pencil and paper. I think we learn easy cause we use Ipad, laptops,computers and smart boards to search our work, and not using workbooks and doing our homework on our laptops.

  18. I think we should do it because students love technology and the teachers that don't use technology can use it. The people that are visual learners can learn faster and better. For example Mrs.Richey :D
