What is Digital Learning Day?
Originally launched by the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) in 2012, Digital Learning Day celebrates innovative educators and underscores the need to advance high-quality digital learning throughout the U.S., especially for students in historically underserved communities.
Most recently, Digital Learning Day became #DLDay, an online celebration where educators share great ideas, amazing stories, and promising practices through social media and within their own schools and communities. Thousands of local events, interactive activities, and lessons will mark the importance of innovation in education on this day.
Now, more than ever, digital learning is not confined to the classroom. Triad Goodwill has successfully pivoted to provide robust virtual training and services and find new and innovative ways to engage with our community!
Why Are Digital Skills Important?
“Over 27 million job postings require digital skills and digital fluency. Few modern jobs are untouched by the wave of digitization sweeping the Global Economy” says, Jessica Hill, Triad Goodwill’s Digital Skills Program Manager. “Knowing how to create, communicate, and share digital content is increasing in importance.”
As the scope of digitization widens, more people will require targeted digital skills training. In today’s digital world, nearly every career requires digital communication to succeed. At Triad Goodwill, we use digital skills training in addition to our career navigation model to help you develop skills specific to digitally based careers.
