Higher education and business leaders are trying to discover Rhode Islanders’ views on education and digital media. To find out, Digital City RI, a group of educators and digital media professionals, has created a brief anonymous poll that allows the public to share their thoughts and opinions about education in Rhode Island.
The goal of the poll is to find out if educators and Rhode Islanders agree on what and how students in grades K-12 should be taught. While the poll’s main focus is on Rhode Island, anyone can voice, his/her opinion. The poll can be found at http://bit.ly/RI2014digitaledpoll or is available on the DCRI sitehttp://www.digitalcityri.org/index.php/news.
A few of the topics discussed in the poll include:
- If students should be taught computer coding
- Whether or not Google should be blocked in schools
- If students should have access to e-books, mobile apps, games and social media
If you’d like to share your thoughts on these topics, act fast. The poll results will be presented on Oct. 25th at the Rhode Island Department of Education’s Technology Day, so the poll is only open until Oct. 22nd.
Digital City RI works alongside university partners: University of Rhode Island, Salve Regina University, New England Institute of Technology, and Rhode Island College to support school programs across Rhode Island. With the help of these partners as well as Newport Interactive Marketers and Designated Editor, award-winning social media/web strategists & trainers, and Worldways marketing, DCRI works to provide comprehensive and up-to-date education in digital media
