Digital Learning

DIGITAL LEARNING

Digital learning is any instructional practice that uses technology effectively in order to strengthen student learning experiences. Carson City School District (“CCSD”) uses a variety of technology and online learning resources to allow students access to their own student work and data from almost any networked device, at any given time. Technology is used to enhance the learning experience; augment learning in the classroom; provide productivity tools to create, store and organize work; communicate with teachers; and collaborate on school projects inside and outside of the school day. These resources, tools, and equipment are essential to teaching and learning. Appropriate access and full utilization of these tools hinge on the cooperation of students with the support of parent/guardian(s).

You can find a list of approved digital learning resources by following the link below.
