The Definitive Guide for K-12 Classroom Device Deployment
Conclusion
Today, we may use the term “digital learning” but in a matter of time, sooner than later, digital learning is synonymous with learning; a digital device will always be part of the learning experience. It is truly amazing when students, with guidance, are empowered to leverage a digital device that has the ability to break down barriers, provide scaffolds, and support each learner. When we create the conditions for
learners to know how they learn and what they need to be successful, we have empowered them to be lifelong learners. The students of today are our leaders of the future. Empowering today will foster communities of innovation and equity.
I hope this playbook is a helpful tool to a successful digital implementation.
Best,
