Distance and Digital Learning Network
- Yearly
- $2,000+
Our world is always connected⏤ conversations happen online, social policies are managed through tweets, and our students' learning is extended online, not just crafted in the classroom.
Our Distance and Digital Learning Network helps districts make limitless connections around the globe to collaborate, connect, and create with other classes, experts, and institutions. We create new pathways for student learning and research by tapping into a wealth of online resources designed to boost and extend your students' learning.
Students collaborate together to take college classes for dual credit, access advanced courses, and take virtual field-trips that wow and inspire.
Teachers attend workshops to continue their educational development and collaborate with their peers in other states.
Administrators stay current with the latest rules and regulations and give their staff members access to the very best resources and strategies currently available to them.
Who's Connected?
Within our area of 60+ school districts, charter schools, and private schools, we connect hundreds of local learners to sites around the world. We also record our sessions and offer them up to our network members.
