Here’s an IDEA: win $2,000

We’re proud to announce our first annual DLC IDEA —Innovative Digital Educator Award—for K-12 teachers, administrators and librarians at DLC member schools. Sponsored by Aventa, the DLC IDEA celebrates a Washington educator whose innovative use of DLC tools and resources exemplify our core value to support student achievement through powerful teaching and technology. The winner of the DLC IDEA receives a cash prize of $2,000. Nominate yourself or someone you admire: http://www.learningcommons.org/idea/

Why the DLC? One woman, two high schools, no teachers

Cape Flattery School District found a great solution for providing required courses online with the DLC and Evie Wonderly, a determined district secretary, who was willing to think creatively to help Clallam Bay’s teachers and students.

It’s all in the alignment

With just one phone call…

You can significantly impact student learning opportunities and everyone’s success. Educator trainings by phone are free, condensed, and have proven to increase usage of DLC resources by member schools; some even see student usage double after participation.
