Navigating the Digital Shift 2018: Broadening Student Learning Opportunities
Fox, Christine; Jones, Rachel
State Educational Technology Directors Association
State education leaders are committed to providing leadership to ensure that all students have access to personalized, engaging learning experiences supported by digital instructional materials and resources. With the transformation to digital learning, more and more states are enacting policies and guidelines to support the implementation and utilization of digital instructional materials, applications and resources. This publication highlights how state policies and guidance are supporting the transformation to digital learning, specifically the policies and processes around the selection, curation, procurement and funding of digital instructional materials. Evidence of state leadership in these areas--equity of access; accessibility for all students; interoperability; and student data and privacy--is highlighted throughout this publication. One will also find specific examples of state policies and guidance and district exemplars highlighting how state policies facilitated the use of digital instructional materials in the classroom to personalize learning. Findings suggest that the number of states with guidance and policies supporting the use of digital instructional materials continues to increase each year. This trend reflects the overall shift towards the implementation of digital instructional materials and the opportunity for educators to use digital applications and resources to support student learning.
