[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a digital tech class you could take instead of a language?  Maybe that is it.  [/quote]
Do you mean that Digital Literacy class?[/quote]

What is digital literacy?[/quote]
It's the option kids take if they don't want to take a language. Both my kids took a language in 6th grade so never took Digital Literacy.[/quote]

It used to be called "Reading"[/quote]

Lol.  This.

It’s a support class.[/quote]

Read 180 is the support class. "READ 180 is an intensive reading intervention program designed to meet the needs of students whose reading achievement is below the proficient level."

As opposed to Digital Literacy:
"The Digital Literacy 1 curriculum focuses on developing critical and creative thinking through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing in a 21st century approach."

Before they called it Digital Literacy...it was reading...the class for 6th graders not taking a language.  At first there was differentiation for kids that needed remediation, but then it became ungrouped.  Glad to hear they have two options again now.[/quote]
