The day started with a National Town Hall meeting, accessed online, of course．Schools around the country used Skype to join the conversation and interact with the speakers．Participants, including 39 states, 15,000 teachers and more than 2 million students, were all involved in some form of digital learning activities and revolution．The activities across the nation showed some of the best in digital education．

　　Many schools celebrated by using iPads．Miller Junior High School in Aberdeen, Wash．distributed an iPad to every 7th and 8th grade student．Other schools used the notebooks for science projects, health projects and photography．

　　Kindergarteners in Topeka, Kansas used Skype to communicate with other classrooms and learn about how other students learn．

　　The daylong celebration also created quite a bit of buzz in the digital world with bloggers commenting on digital education trends, teachers using Twitter and social media to share information and online articles．

　　What' s clear from the events of the day is that education needs to catch up with the digital revolution．Students shouldn ' t first hear about the " cloud" or interact with a wiki after graduation．Schools should include digital and technology revolutions in daily instruction．Plus, digital technologies can grow and improve the cooperative, creative and critical thinking skills students need to succeed later in life．
