digitallearning

The Association of Alaska School Boards is committed to creating 1 to 1 digital learning environments in Alaska's schools to help all students develop 21st century skills, raise their achievement levels and lead successful lives in the global economy. 

AASB's Consortium for Digital Learning initiative was launched in spring 2006 with $5 million in capital funds from the 24th Legislature. Today, over 5,000 students in 93 schools across 27 school districts are experiencing education with laptop computers.

Educators, students and parents involved with CDL have acknowledged digital learning's effectiveness in engaging students, improving academic performance and instilling skills relevant to today's job market.

Through the CDL initiative, AASB has articulated a vision firmly rooted in 21st century literacy and is actively working to educate stakeholders and policymakers on the importance of digital learning and equal access to education technology for all Alaska students.
