Horizon Room
What is The Horizon Room?
The Horizon Room is a live webcast for educators to come together to share challenges, solutions and innovations, or just bounce ideas off other like-minded professionals. Basically, it’s about everything on the immediate horizon for schools...hence the name.
Join the host, Chris McMurray, and leaders in education from across the country in this live webcast that brings together research, industry experience, partnerships, and connections to help educators navigate what’s on the horizon and learn from each other.
Horizon Room Season 1 – Honest discussion and experience from leaders in the field around some of the basic issues educators must tackle to make the transition from traditional models of school to what’s needed to prepare our students for the future. In the first season of The Horizon Room, we go from tech systems and infrastructure to wrangling the wild west of apps in the ecosystem and everything in between.
