Digital learning is an essential part of modern education, offering personalized and engaging experiences that meet the diverse needs of all students. Through thoughtful integration of digital tools, educators can analyze learning patterns, provide real-time feedback, and tailor instruction to support individual progress.
Digital learning uses technology tools and online resources to enhance and support instruction, providing students with flexible and accessible learning experiences. When thoughtfully integrated, these experiences build essential digital literacy and prepare students for careers requiring technological fluency, remote collaboration, and lifelong learning. By fostering these skills, digital learning ensures all students are equipped to succeed in today’s dynamic technology-driven society.
Digital Tools
Many of the learning activities, educational programs, and services that FCPS teachers use with students involve interactive websites that require a student login. These "Digital Tools" are thoroughly reviewed by our curriculum, technology, and student data teams for approval for student use and for compliance with all federal and state accessibility and student data privacy laws.
Core Digital Tools
Core Digital Tools are the digital tools that FCPS has purchased to deliver essential educational services to our students. Examples of these digital tools include Google Workspace for Education, Schoology, and Xello. Student accounts are generally created at the district level using the students' FCPS login credentials (single sign on). Student use of these Core Digital Tools is required as a part of the academic programs specific to student grade levels.

Supplemental Digital Tools
Supplemental Digital Tools are the digital tools that FCPS has authorized teachers to use with students to enrich their educational experience. Examples of these digital tools are ALEKS, Desmos, and PearDeck. Parents have the opportunity to "opt out" of their children's use of these Supplemental Digital Tools and ask teachers to provide alternatives for their children.
