Actually, it was yesterday, but we were snowed in, so let’s pretend it’s today. Seeing that winter weather has wreaked havoc on the best laid lesson plans this week, rather than encourage you to try incorporating a new digital learning tool you’ve never used before into a lesson, I thought I’d make a different suggestion as a way to celebrate Digital Learning Day.

Among other things, many not so good, the Internet is a place for learning, containing incredible troves of information…you just have to know how and where to search for it. The Internet is also a place for fluid communication and real-time collaboration where geographic distance is irrelevant. Happy digital learning!
