Digital learning and its importance in education.

 

1. Your definition of digital learning and its importance in education.

Digital learning is important because students can have an opportunity to work with different resources that give their work meaning and a purpose. 

The reason why digital learning is important in education is that it allows students to collaborate with others and create meaningful work that can be reviewed over and over again though out the years. So not only are students able to create meaningful work but they create a legacy and allow other students to learn from other students their own age. 

The meaning of digital learning is that students can take technology and allow their learning to create a purpose and create ownership of their learning.  Today technology has become necessary in the classroom and even at home. Students love to do activities on computers this has even become a way for students to receive their education at home. Technology is becoming a main resource within the classroom. Using technology with students allows students to take their learning into their own hands and become creative which will give students opportunities to teach others later as well as enjoyment of education. Students can all be in the same grade but on diverse levels of learning. This means that students can be in third grade and be working on fifth-grade content or if a student is behind the student, then can work on their grade level with content that pushes the students forward at their level. Technology allows data to be collected for students to help provide feedback to allow us to create content to help the student grow within the course content.   

Technology allows educators the opportunity to assist students rather than allowing the technology to do all the teaching. Technology allows educators to have background data to help make changes with the content that we are teaching but allows students to learn and be creative with today's technology also allows the students to master the content that is given this also helps students to be more independently creative and allows students the opportunity to work on the content with their interest.  

This is important because all students should feel that their education should have meaning and a purpose. So, technology can be used for different purposes that allow students to make meaning behind their learning that will follow even after high school. This will also help students work at their own grade level as they move forward.
