The goal for Digital Learning Day is to encourage and provide models and innovative ideas for the use of digital learning and technology by teachers and students across the country. With the input from innovative and master education leaders and teachers across the country, the Alliance will develop a series of Toolkits to provide examples, information, and outreach samples for states, districts, schools, teachers, and students participating in Digital Learning Day. The Toolkits will include ideas for how to host a "Learning Showcase" in state capitals or districts, outreach to members of the community to participate, and in-depth lesson plans and strategies for teachers. While each state, district, or school will implement their own version of Digital Learning Day, the Toolkits will allow participants to learn from one another and to build upon successful ideas from across the country.

Because the heart of Digital Learning Day is in the teaching and learning with teachers and students, the Alliance has convened an Educator Working Group to provide ideas and recommendations for the Toolkits. These education leaders will work to provide models and innovative ideas for the use of digital learning and technology and develop ways for teachers and principals to collaborated in the months leading up to and following Digital Learning Day. While specific lesson plans, examples, and videos will be available to share specific lessons; the Educator Working Group is also focusing on how to share and demonstrate cross-cutting strategies with technology.

The Toolkit will include something for all stakeholders, including:
 * Sample communications for national, state, and district leaders to solicit support and implementation of National Learning Day, including templates for confirming participants, public-private partnerships, and outreach
 * Links to examples and models for implementing digital learning and technology, specifically targeting lesson plans for core subjects and Project Based Learning opportunities
 * Recommended agenda, invitations, and approaches for Digital Learning Day at state capitals, district headquarters, or schools
 * Sample model state legislation that facilitates the implementation of digital learning and technology

The Toolkits will be available prior to the event and will correspond to webinars and other communication outreach. We encourage your participation and input on the Toolkits and hope you will share this work with your colleagues.
