Did you know tomorrow, February 1, 2012, is the first National Digital Learning Day? This day of observance was launched by the Alliance for Excellent Education, one of two education advocacy groups behind the Digital Learning Now Initiative.

 

The American Library Association’s (ALA) Digital Literacy Taskforce is calling on all libraries to put a social media megaphone to their activities planned for this special day. Raise awareness of your library’s work in this arena by tweeting (hashtag #DLDay), blogging, and sharing Flickr photos and YouTube videos of digital literacy activities and testimonials throughout the day. You can also share examples on the showcase page of the Digital Learning Day Website at www.digitallearningday.org. A toolkit is available at www.digitallearningday.org/toolkits/teachers/ from the Alliance for Excellent Education.
