We love exploring the power of digital tools for creative expression!

We went to the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy to find out why it is important for school boards to fund professional development in digital literacy. We interviewed media specialists, K-12 teachers, college professors, and administrators to learn about the benefits of and barriers to digital literacy professional development. As first-time participants of the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy at URI, we were blown away by the ideas, resources, and strategies that we learned about through this one-week institute. Enjoy this video to learn more about the importance of digital literacy, why school boards should send educators to the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy, and how digital literacy impacts our students.
