Main Agenda – Using Mobile Technology to Enhance Students' Educational Experiences
Information and communications technology continue to expand the boundaries of higher education into an "anytime/anywhere" experience. Wireless networks and mobile communications coupled with personal computing devices present new means for students to access classroom information and communicate with peers and teachers, and for faculty members to alter the concept of "the classroom". Redefining this educational experience, however, presents new challenges for both educators, IT departments, and service providers as they determine optimal mixes of technology and pedagogy. The educational goal is not to incorporate technology for technology’s sake but to create a meaningful learning experience for the student, and IT departments must support such initiatives accordingly.
In this open forum, we will discuss the challenges of supporting mobile learning solutions, how to best deliver course content to students that are "always on the move", and what solutions and resources are available now or may be needed in the future.

Additionally what has become a SLATE tradition...
Once again this year - after our meeting, we will take some time to enjoy and celebrate the holiday season with our friends and colleagues - by having a White Elephant Gift Exchange. The term white elephant refers to a gift whose maintenance cost exceeds its usefulness. In the "WeGe", gifts are wrapped, anonymous - are typically inexpensive, humorous items, or used items from home. In the past some people have been pretty creative - and there are always a couple a really good surprises too...!!! So I hope everyone will participate and bring a gift to exchange.
If you have any questions please let me know. Hope to see you there.
