Summary:
|
The District has been participating in the Google Education Think Tank as one of 20 total schools and universities that have been invited to participate. The Think Tank partners met with each other at Google offices twice a year in 2014 and 2015. As a result of the success seen thus far, Google would like to continue the Think Tank for at least two additional years. One meeting per year will take place on or near the west coast and the other meeting on the east coast or midwest. The first meeting of 2017 is planned for Mountain View, California in Fall 2017. The Google Think Tank will continue to provide a collaborative forum for partners to share and learn from their experiences with integrating technology into the classroom, operations and overall culture of the District. The goal for the Think Tank Program is to inspire innovative approaches to education, to disseminate insights on learning models, and to determine how Google technology can best support schools and universities.
