Wednesday, Feb. 17 was Digital Learning Day, Digital Learning Day is a day to celebrate our instructional practices that use technology in meaningful ways. We are fortunate here at MPMS to have access to a variety of tech tools; hardware like desktop computers, laptops, and iPads, software like Sketchup, iMovie, and Google Apps for Education, and equipment like our Green Screens. The technology ties in nicely to Superintendent Merrill's Strategic Plan, which incorporates the 4 Cs: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking.
To celebrate DLD, we set up stations around the media center and students could come during Leopard Time to take part in the activities. They made videos with the green screen where they answered the question, "If you had a million bucks to spend on technology at MPMS, what would you buy?" They did a Google scavenger hunt, answering a series of tech challenge questions. They played around with Google Cardboard. They took photos at a selfie station, where they wrote about what "Digital Citizenship" means to them. Take a look at this slideshow for some of their answers, and here are a few pictures:
Happy Digital Learning Day!
