Roadshow
Friday February 14, 2025 1:20pm - 1:35pm MST
Palisades Room
Across the province, many school boards are in the middle of various initiatives involving student data.  Some school boards may be introducing new tools, others new infrastructure, even more may be introducing new processes that repurposes existing tools and infrastructure.
Sometimes, something which seems routine or relatively simple to you can be an eye-opening inspiration to someone else.
Alberta Roadshow we encourage school boards to talk about the projects they are currently doing. This lets all of the other people in the room get a feel for what kinds of things people are doing, who might be involved in something similar to what they are doing, what they recently finished, or what they are thinking about trying - knowledge of possibilities is the first step towards opening up more collaboration opportunities between us.
Join us in the Roadshow to potentially discover someone you hadn't realized might be in the middle of tackling very similar challenges to what you are facing, or (even better), just finished tackling them.
