Distance Teaching and Learning (DTL) is a comprehensive staff development academy which prepares interested educators to appropriately use the statewide video conferencing network that was placed in school districts in 2000. As with other Technology for Teaching and Learning academies, DTL’s major emphasis is on the creation of high quality, interactive curricular content by participating educators. This content will form a starting base for the instructional use of the statewide interactive video capacity and will provide a platform for further development of capacity and skill in using distance teaching and learning technologies.
Purpose:
The purpose of the DTL Academy is to establish a growing cadre of educators who will create, implement and deliver high-quality instruction for the South Dakota Digital Dakota Network. These educators will model effective distance teaching strategies that support active student learning. Participants will become instructional leaders that guide the implementation of high-quality telecourses and telelessons that promote the advancement of learning for all students in South Dakota.
