The Evolution of Digital Curricula
Friday, May 31, 2013, 2 to 3 p.m. ETThe proliferation of digital devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets is changing the way many teachers are delivering instruction in their classrooms. Many are trading in textbooks for interactive digital tools such as videos, multimedia lessons, and games that they are using to engage and motivate students.
That digital shift has prompted teachers to re-evaluate their roles in the classroom, changing from being simply knowledge experts to learning guides. And technology advocates contend that digital curricula can help put students at the center of their learning, connect what they’re doing in school to real-world applications, and better prepare them for college and the workforce.
