Abstract: Digital transformation, regardless of the company, will typically take this path. First, the company mimics paper-and-pencil processes using the computer. But then, a disrupter comes along and creates new processes and new materials that truly leverage the unique affordances of digital technology and the digital transformation occurs. K-12 is beginning to move from digitized curricula to deeply-digital curricula. Issued by the Center for Digital Curricula, College of Engineering, University of Michigan, deeply-digital curricula, unlike 1-dimenstional, text-based digitized curricula, are 2D and graphical – just like the video game world inhabited daily by the Gen Z’s and Gen Alphas. For teachers, the 2D enables the graphical aggregation, in one place, of all the learning activities in a lesson, making it easy for students – and their parents – to understand what’s been done and what’s coming next. In the 2020-2021 school year, 5,000+ K-5 students began using the Center’s deeply-digital curricula daily! Teachers report the students are engaged, and test results indicate the students are learning! In our presentation we will further explore the nature of deeply-digital curricula and their use in the classroom.
