Coaching and supporting educators to create digital learning environments is a challenging, important, and highly collaborative role.

This course allows you to learn along with your colleagues from other schools and districts to enhance your digital learning content knowledge and further develop supporting strategies.

During this session, participants will:
 * deepen your understanding of what it takes to integrate technology effectively;
 * explore relevant frameworks, strategies, tools, and resources to advance your digital learning efforts
 * develop and share a coaching plan to support your school digital learning culture.
