Educating 8th Graders Digital Learning

Digital learning is a way of life in our educational journey, that is here to stay. There used to be a time when one would take out a pen a pad to jot down an idea or go to a hard copy book for information. Now less and less people do those things. Information is now literally at your fingers tips. One can use their cell phone, a digital technology tool that is smart, and can do everything that a larger computer can do, sometimes even faster.

In the classroom where a Smart Board is utilized students are able to engage in multiple ways of learning. Teachers can assess students and students get instant feedback through online Digital learning tools like Kahoot and Edpuzle. This is a benefit that saves time and gives students flexibility and accountability. Digital learning offers a range of options for educators in teaching all subjects, tutoring, research, reading, writing, and assessment.

The advantages of implementing Digital learning in Education are great with great Educators. Educators that are equipped to manage the type of digital content necessary to be engaging, while ensuring that the information is safe, accurate and that students privacy is not compromised.

Digital learning has changed how we learn and how we teach. A major advantage of Digital leaning is the students become active learners engaged in their own multiple learning paths, that fit their learning style. While collaboration is an important aspect in our diverse Education system, the flexibility of Digital learning is a major factor when determining when, where and how you learn best.
