Outcomes
1. Understand digital learning and its purpose
2. Understand that Standard 8 requires thinking differently for most teachers and students, such that for every solution there is another solution (viable or not). Effective implementation relies on developing computational thinking skills that leads students toward; a) sustaining our world, b) creating the "best" long term solutions, and c) meeting a real-world need.
3. Understand that when implemented, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can improve and optimize learning for all students
4. Review policies and practices for safe and secure learning environment
5. Understand that NJTRAx Technology Readiness and NJTRAx DL’s intended purpose
6. Develop goals, objectives and next steps for Future Ready planning and implementation

Where the Jobs Are
Sixty-one percent of online job openings for college grads are
in white-collar professional occupations (33%) and STEM
(28%) occupations, which together account for 1.1 million job
openings advertised online.
The most in-demand white-collar professional jobs are
accountants and auditors (with 49,000 advertisements) and
medical/health services managers (47,000).Learn more in a Georgetown University report, Where the Jobs Are.

We are currently preparing students for jobs
that don’t yet exist…using technologies that
haven't been invented… in order to solve
problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

DIGITAL LEARNING GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Digital learning – Any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student's learning experience and encompasses a wide spectrum of tools and practices, including -
(A) interactive learning resources, digital learning content (which may include openly licensed content), software, or simulations, that engage students in academic content;
(B) access to online databases and other primary source documents;
(C) the use of data and information to personalize learning and provide targeted supplementary instruction;
(D) online and computer-based assessments;
(E) learning environments that allow for rich collaboration and communication, which may include student collaboration with content experts and peers;
(F) hybrid or blended learning, which occurs during direct instructor supervision at a school or other location away from home and, at least in part, through online delivery of instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace; and
(G) access to online course opportunities for students in rural or remote areas. (Source: Every Student Succeeds Act, 2015, www.ed.gov/essa)

Barriers to Students – sometimes those labels placed upon students are barriers themselves to content.
Inclusive environments are successful because digital learning levels the playing field.
Barriers to Teachers – teachers may be empowered to improve their ability to facilitate digital learning in the classroom. Levels of Teaching Innovation (LoTI) - (http://www.loticonnection.com/)
Personalized professional development suggestions for individuals — Each participating
teacher and building leader will receive a free report that includes their individual survey results
and recommended resources consistent with the U.S. Department of Education's Future Ready
Schools initiative and aligned to the LoTI (Levels of Teaching Innovation) and H.E.A.T. (Higher
order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, Technology use) Frameworks, Digital
Age Best Practices, the ISTE Standards for Teachers and Administrators, and related frameworks.
Individual results include links to suggested professional development and instructional resources
that are personalized based on your survey results.
Barriers to Digital Learning – may be components like infrastructure…but often, it is the mindset of some
that hinder advances for digital learning in the school.

Universal Design for Learning
The ultimate goal of applying UDL to instruction is
to help all learners to develop into expert
learners—learners who can assess their own
learning needs, monitor their own progress, and
regulate and sustain their interests, effort, and
