Media Specialist, Mr. Richter of Westwood Jr/Sr High School, organized students to participate in Digital Learning Day on February 22, a national event sponsored by the Alliance for Excellent Education. To celebrate the use of technology in the media center as well as throughout the school Mr. Richter utilized various clubs to honor teachers who have inspired their students with technology in their teaching. Students awarded “Digital Learning Day badges” along with personal thank-you messages to the teacher of their choice, recognizing the educator for using technology to help them to learn. More than a dozen clubs got involved to make it a great day for teachers!
