Summary of the Classroom of the Future GAZeL Networking Event
ABLE PRESENTATION OF GREAT INTEREST
On October 29th, 2009 Duke Merhavy and Craig Ward gave a very interesting presentation. Able is a company that installs computers and the necessary equipment to make them run. This is done primarily in k-12 school districts. There is always one problem that the schools have. They rarely have the money. Dr. Merhavy and Mr. Ward (both members of the GAZeL board of directors) discussed ways of applying for money through E-rate. This is money from the federal government to pay for cables, installation and the necessary items that allow the computers to be used.
Education 3.0
eSN Special Report: Education 3.0
How some schools are taking 21st-century teaching and learning to the next level
When Hurricane Katrina ripped through Louisiana's Jefferson Parish in 2005, tornadoes took down some school buildings and floodwaters rushed through others--wrecking classrooms and making many facilities in the 85-school district uninhabitable. Once it was safe to return to Jefferson Parish, school district officials got to work, pulling up soaked carpets, boarding up windows, and envisioning what kind of schools they wanted to see rise from all the wreckage. What the administrators decided was to rebuild the schools not as they once were--traditional educational environments with very little technology overall--but as a place to empower learners to thrive in the 21st century: something California-based technology and networking company Cisco Systems calls "Education 3.0." The concept focuses on creating schools where technology isn't just layered on top of traditional processes. Instead, technology is woven seamlessly through all aspects of education, from building security to lesson plans and student collaboration--interconnecting all facets of school life, and truly revolutionizing the education experience.

GAZeL is proud to say that our events this past year have been very interesting. The presentation at SKYSONG on March 12, 2009 was thought provoking and the building with the view of the mountains is beautiful.

The 2nd Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2009, part of the Academic Globalization Project, is being organized in the context of WMSCI 2009, and its collocated conferences.
The purpose of AG 2009 is to bring together scholars, educators and practitioners with the objective of exploring, reflecting and sharing ideas with regards to the impact that the Globalization Phenomena is having or might have on universities (research, teaching and continuing education), and vice versa: the impact that academia is generating, or could generate on the phenomenon of globalization. Questions such as the following are examples of those that could be addressed at the Symposium in order to generate possible answers and/or reflections, as well as possible research:
