The Digital Learning Technology Bank… why?
Gatekeeping.
And by gatekeeping we mean: gates open, come on in.
We want you to know what's available to faculty/students to use, and who/where/when/why/which gate to go through

The Digital Learning Technology Bank… what even is it?
A site where anyone can find a collection of the tools we (@FlemingCollege) use to help us learn. From the LMS to web stuff to the hardware in a class.

The Digital Learning Technology Bank…How?
SPLOTs is how! Unsung Internet hero Alan Levine @cogdog provides WordPress themes called at https://t.co/veMhAAosTF for hacks like me to be able to spin up a site that can help us collect things. & anyone can add to it! pic.twitter.com/QazRcj0FcO

But wait, there's more help! An Applied Project Team of students from Wireless Information Networking helped create the site, collect tools and feedback from faculty coordinators.

The Digital Learning Technology Bank… The SEQUEL!
This time we're going bigger than just tools for learning by collecting tools that students ARE learning aka the tools each student will use in their programs.

Team H.A.R.P. will begin PROGTOOLs collection by covering all the tools they use in their own program. From there they will look for other programs at the college interested in learning how to add theirs to the bank. pic.twitter.com/jNV9iluNh6

What's Next?
Make more SPLOTs that will then become tools to live INSIDE the TechBank or PROGTOOLS page.
Collecting podcasts, images, writings, birdcalls, whatever!
It's SPLOTception
