Digital Learning Day (DLDay) was launched by the Alliance for Excellent Education as an effort to spread innovative teaching practices and help young people everywhere access high-quality digital learning opportunities. Started in 2012 as a grassroots effort, DLDay has grown to be a nationwide celebration, empowering educators to enhance student learning with digital tools into the classroom. This year’s Digital Learning Day is being celebrated today, and is all about sparking innovation in every classroom, every day. As part of this year’s celebration Google’s Applied Digital Skills is excited to launch a new Digital Learning Day collection. This curated a collection of lessons allows students to explore new digital skills for their life and future career and includes lessons on creating a resume, exploring their digital footprint, creating a presentation about a topic and more!
Applied Digital Skills is a free, video-based curriculum that teaches students the practical skills that they need for work and life. Each lesson has teacher materials including lesson plans, sample rubrics, and certificates of completion for students. Videos are also available to download for offline viewing. Try a lesson in the new Digital Learning Day Collections today. Applied Digital Skills includes collections for College Readiness, Job Preparedness and Career Exploration to teach students skills that prepare them for two and four year colleges, and possibly for internships/apprenticeships and other types of education opportunities.
