digital learning strategies handout...

Digital Learning Strategies That Inform, Engage, and Inspire Students today don’t remember a world before smart phones, tablets, and digital video recorders. They have grown up in a world of Google and YouTube. In fact, students today can get video-on-demand instruction for just about anything we can teach them directly from their smartphones. This, of course, begs the question, are we doing enough to effectively showcase the most powerful learning strategies now available to students? Thanks for coming to learn more about Valencia’s new Digital Learning Strategies course. We hope we have sparked your curiosity regarding new ways to share engaging learning technologies with students while simultaneously mentoring them in the best practices for learning in a digital age. We designed this handout to serve as your outsourced memory for our session.
