Last Friday's Twitter #DRCchat to celebrate Digital Learning Day (#DLday) was terrific.These chats continue to impress us all, especially in terms of how they allow for multiple viewpoints and voices. There's something about the constraint of 140 characters that really gets a discussion going. Our Storify Round-up, below, shows just how varied and rich the discussion was, providing practical ideas for using digital tools in the classroom, and raising important issues of access across different cultural contexts. Thanks to @Jenae_Cohn and @PaulaMMiller for moderating and everyone who participated!
Welcome to tonight’s #DRCchat. Introduction time! Who are you and what do you teach?

Glad you mentioned tools, @Jenae_Cohn. To everyone, what cool digital tools do you use to facilitate learning? #DRCchat #DLDay

I think those of us who teach online are always incorporating digital lessons! #DRCchat

This semester, we're working on writing invention using digital tools like http://t.co/bggO5O34az and http://t.co/tV7qZxaww3 #DRCChat

I mostly rely on my LMS to facilitate dig learning, but Google applications, like @gonzlaur mentioned are also a fav. #drcchat #DLDay

@SweetlandDRC students love doing digital multimodal research projects in place of research papers! #DRCchat #digital #fyc

If #DLDay is new to you (or even if not), what value do you see an event like Digital Learning Day having to the community? #DRCchat
— Sweetland DRC (@SweetlandDRC) March 13, 2015
It seems like #DLDay is mostly getting celebrated at K-12 level. Am I wrong about that? #drcchat
— Dr. Jenae Cohn (@jenaecohn@sotl.social) (@Jenae_Cohn) March 13, 2015
#DLDay provides conversation across a wide range about digital learning: K-12, college, library, multiliteracy centers #DRCchat

Smart question, @jenlmichaels – let's put it to the group. How do we "do" digital learning in contexts with less access? #DRCchat #DLDay

The critical literacy – rather than the gizmos and gadgets – seems to be the ticket. #drcchat #DLDay
— Dr. Jenae Cohn (@jenaecohn@sotl.social) (@Jenae_Cohn) March 13, 2015
Working with the tech students have in low access areas seems worthwhile, from computers in the library to flip phones. #drcchat

I'm gonna jump to show and tell time: do you have any pics or links to share with the group re: digital learning? #DRCchat #DLDay

Don't have the link, but I loved when a student presented re: Instagram/social photog then asked class to pose for class selfie! #DRCChat

One more question: Any cool plans for #DLDay next year? New plans for daily digital learning as a result of #DLDay? #drcchat
