Every Day is Digital Learning Day
Innovate. Transform. Connect.
For twelve remarkable years, Digital Learning Day (DLDay) united educators, students, district and state leaders, and policymakers in a shared celebration of what’s possible when access and opportunity expand in support of high-quality teaching and learning.
In 2026, we are entering a new chapter—one that fully embraces the belief that every day should be Digital Learning Day. We’re turning our gaze from a moment to a movement—from a day on the calendar to a culture in our schools.
Thank you to every district, educator, student, policymaker, and partner who amplified digital learning, broke down barriers, and expanded opportunity for learners across America. All4Ed is passing the touch to our community and will not longer be offering formal programming on this day.
And what a celebration it became: from coast to coast, schools shared stories, districts hosted workshops and events, social media lit up with #DLDay, educators exchanged ideas and students took center stage. It has been a massive celebration of innovation in classrooms across the country; a visible embodiment of the All4Ed mission to ensure equity, opportunity and excellence for all learners

A Reflection on 12 Years of Impact
For more than a decade, Digital Learning Day (DLDay) served as a national celebration of what’s possible when educators, leaders, and communities come together to expand access, elevate instructional practice, and champion opportunity for every learner. Since its launch in 2012, DLDay has united classrooms and communities across the country—from Washington, DC to schools nationwide—spotlighting the people and practices that make digital learning meaningful.
Throughout the years, DLDay amplified the voices of students, teachers, librarians, principals, district leaders, and policymakers, showcasing how technology when used thoughtfully can deepen engagement, strengthen relationships, and open doors to new possibilities for learning. It was never about the “next shiny tool,” but about what happens when innovation supports belonging, student voice, creativity, and deeper learning.
DLDay became a powerful moment of collective inspiration each year, as schools shared stories, hosted events, and connected through a shared commitment to equity and excellence. And as the work continues, we carry forward DLDay’s legacy with a renewed belief: the goal is not one day of celebration, but a future where every day is Digital Learning Day—in every classroom, for every student.
