ATLIS 2016

How do you design solutions to meet the needs of learners when they don’t currently exist? This session explores the challenges faced and lessons learned from a four-year effort at the Westminster Schools to extend the functionality of the traditional language lab to everywhere on campus in a 1-to-1 MacBook program. Hear about Westminster’s experience searching for lab-alternatives and the collaboration with Swift Education Systems to “reinvent” the traditional language lab. Come explore the “hows” and the “whys” and learn best practices for collaborating with software vendors to develop and incorporate new classroom technology. This session is intended for technology directors and instructional technologists interested in learning how to engage and collaborate with EdTech software vendors to develop new solutions.
