Celebrating 10 years!

Ten years ago, the policy landscape for digital learning was uncertain. Believe it or not, school leaders and the public did not realize the potential that the effective use of technology can have to close inequities and personalize instructional opportunities for students.

Instead, teachers felt uncertain about their roles in a digital transformation. In many schools and districts, using technology in the classroom became an all-out event. Forward-leaning teachers had to make reservations, use specialized equipment, get in-depth training, and raise their own grant funds with advanced permission from principals to purchase new software programs.

Eager to support these early adopters and highlight the value and potential for ubiquitous technology in the nation’s schools, the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) launched Digital Learning Day to celebrate innovative teachers and to improve learning experiences and outcomes for students.

Sustainable Jersey for Schools New Digital Schools Program

The Digital Schools Program was created In June 2020 to integrate new content into Sustainable Jersey for Schools that strengthens support for schools in meeting the challenges of digital learning and to help bring about a sustainable future for us all. It builds on the legacy of the Future Ready Schools - New Jersey (FRS-NJ) program (which ceased operations in 2019) by integrating FRS-NJ topic areas and content into the Sustainable Jersey for Schools actions (see the Digital Schools History for more detail).

That's it for now!
