The Alliance for Excellent Education
Invites You to Participate in the
Digital Town Hall
 
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (ET)
 
As part of your local Digital Learning Day activities on February 6, you are 
invited to tune in for the second annual Digital Town Hall, being simulcast live 
as part of the national Digital Learning Day celebration.
 
Please join Gov. Bob Wise and the Alliance for Excellent Education on February 
6, 2013 to celebrate the wave of innovation sweeping across the nation’s 
schools. Specifically, this national celebration will culminate in the Digital 
Town Hall from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (ET), which will focus on how great 
teaching, combined with effective technology, makes a positive impact on 
improving America’s schools, particularly those that serve high-risk and 
high-poverty populations.
 
Moderated by Leon Harris, award-winning journalist and anchor of ABC7/WJLA-TV 
(Washington, DC), the Digital Town Hall will demonstrate “digital learning in 
action” and feature high-profile leaders from government, education leadership, 
and leading corporations in front of a Washington DC–based live studio audience. 
The agenda includes interactive polls, nationally recognized teachers and school 
leaders, a chat for interaction with digital viewers, and high-profile 
policymakers demonstrating how digital learning and technology can help 
transform the nation’s schools. 

 
The Digital Town Hall will be just one of thousands of Digital Learning Day 
celebrations taking place across the United States in classrooms, schools, 
districts, and states. Last year, more than 40,000 people watched this digital 
event live and more than 3,500 educators participated in the live chat to share 
resources and best practices. 

 
Already, Digital Learning Day boasts tens of thousands of teachers representing 
more than 2 million students who are planning activities, using one of the 
interactive lessons, or trying something new to celebrate the day. Forty-five 
states plus DC are hosting statewide activities, and the Alliance has been 
joined by more than fifty national organizations in support of digital learning 
in schools.

Consider watching the live simulcast as a team. This is a great way for you to 
join the national celebration without leaving your school building or home. 

 
Pass it on! Please forward this invitation to others who may want to join the 
wave of innovation sweeping the nation’s schools. Get more information on how
