Digital Learning Day is being celebrated across the nation on Feb. 5, 2014. PA plans to participate this year by having selected student teams come to their respective IU to present an invention that they have created or prototyped during their designated time to all other participating IUs in our state. At that time, they will follow the twitter #PADLDay #DLDay to participate in statewide discussions/feedback.  All schools will be able to view the live stream from their school locations.  This is not a competition, but a collective sharing event. 

IU13 Instructional Services is pleased to announce that we are now offering LDAP services for IU13 IMS (Instructional Media Services) member districts.  Through the use of LDAP, your teachers and students will receive users accounts in which they log in to Discovery Education using their regular school credentials.  We are excited to offer this service as one of your IMS membership benefits. 

All current "playlists" will roll over to the new accounts so teachers/students need not fear losing what they have already set up.
