GAZeL Launches Innovative Learning Collaborative
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 .
