Special+Meeting+on+Microsoft+Digital+Literacy

We met on February 9th to discuss the pros and cons of the Microsoft Digital Literacy Program compared to our current learning.com program. From this meeting, we generated a list of questions. See below. 1. Who is MDL being purchased for; i.e. teachers, students, or both? 2. What percentage of districts are currently using Learning.com? Are they primarily using it for teacher use or student use? 3. Does MDL include assessments? Are these assessments for teachers, students, or both? Specifically, does MDL have a program for the 8th grade student assessment? 4. Can MDL curriculum be easily incorporated into current learning management systems? 5. What systems does MDL work with? Would MDL be cloud based? 6. What are districts doing now; are they purchasing curriculum and if so, from whom? View the Blackboard Collaborate recording

Here is the map Missy Smith sent to show counties using the current Learning.com assessment.
