Digital Learning is really just about LEARNING. Technology allows teachers and students to have learning experiences that without technology would be impossible. It is important to remember that technology is just a tool. TEACHERS are the GAME-CHANGER. Great learning experiences are created by YOU, not by technology. I hope these web pages will help you as you use technology to develop your PEDAGOGY and create great learning experiences for your students - Mark Stone, Digital Learning Specialist

What is Dynamic Learning?
Dynamic Learning is characterised by constant change and activity. This learning takes place organically, growing and evolving through more unconventional means, with the learner collaborating, creating, and communicating to demonstrate progress and mastery. Dynamic Learning also extends beyond the boundaries of a traditional school day, beyond the physical location of the classroom, beyond using tools as digital substitutes, or even the traditional notion of hard-and-fast due dates.
The Dynamic Learning Characteristics
When you think DYNAMIC, Think BEYOND!
BEYOND the Bell: a lifelong learning mindset for students.
BEYOND the Grade Level and Subject Area: helping students tap into passions and interests that are outside the given curriculum.
BEYOND the Walls: publishing student work for a global audience, and bringing in global connections and collaborations.
BEYOND the Tools: using digital tools to do new things.
BEYOND the Due Date: mentoring and coaching students to continue learning even after the project has been assessed.
