Connecting or Reconnecting With GAZeL
Whether you are new to GAZeL, or reconnecting with us, we want to update you on our new mission and initiatives to create an Innovative Learning Collaborative. You may know GAZeL as an eLearning organization Connecting Arizona’s eLearning Community. Maybe you have participated in our events such as CEO Breakfasts, networking events, Forums, Conferences, our eLearning Summit, the One Laptop Per Child fundraiser, or our discussions about eLearning research in Arizona.
A New Mission For GAZeL -Innovation, Technology and The Collaborative
In 2015 the Board made an important decision. While events are great, we want to focus on initiatives that will have impact and enhance innovative learning in Arizona. So, on September 28, 2015 GAZeL, in cooperation with other business, education and community organizations, convened the Forum on Innovative Learning 2015 and Beyond: Challenges, Opportunities, Technologies and Strategies.
The Forum launched the Arizona Innovative Learning Collaborative.
While GAZeL remains committed to eLearning
eLearning is just the beginning! Innovative Learning is so much more!
eLearning is just the beginning! Innovative Learning is so much more!
In February 2016 the Board officially adopted a Roadmap for GAZeL’s future that will focus on education innovation, technology and develpment of the Collaborative. The Collaborative reflects a broader vision for GAZeL .
