Digital Learning Day 2016

To say that the face of classrooms around the world have changed since I was little is an understatement. Wouldn't you agree? When I was in elementary school (which only seems like yesterday, but in the, er, 90's) we had a computer lab that contained the old box-type apple computers. Our classrooms didn't have any computers, so we were lucky to go to the computer lab  about once a month, maybe. Technology was basically obsolete when it came to my education.

Now, fast-forward to 2016 and you are sure to find technology in nearly every classroom in some form. Sure, all classrooms aren't created equally, but you are sure to find some kind of technology that is used on a pretty regular basis to assist in the education of the students in that particular classroom daily.

It's amazing how quickly times have changed for sure! Some teachers have entered this new era of education kicking and screaming, while others have embraced the awesomeness of technology with arms wide open. Me? I have embraced it, which is the purpose of this blog post; today is Digital Learning Day.
