ATLE Emerge 2025

In the dynamic world of Education IT, we have the unique opportunity to support and enhance extracurricular projects like esports. While it can be challenging and may not always fall within the traditional role of IT departments, it's important to explore why we should or should not support these innovative initiatives.

Join your IT peers to discuss how we can prioritize and support esports and other initiatives that potentially benefit our schools and teachers.

How do we effectively foster effective online learning and teaching communities? Ignite Centre for eLearning will present the results of their 2-year mental health and wellness grant and discuss the 7-pronged approach to creating a safe and caring online learning community for their grades 1-12 online school.

ATLE’s PIA Project has been on the move—and in this session, we’ll catch you up on this year's progress, pivots and plans still to come! We'll explore how AI is reshaping our approach, driving agile innovation in the process. You'll get an inside peek at how our team came about developing a custom GPT from the ATLE PIA evaluation template, diving into both the big-picture thinking and the practical and necessary steps it took to get there. Expect reflections on lessons learned, how AI has influenced our collective decision-making, a peek under the hood at what it really takes to build a functional, purpose-driven GPT....and ATLE's commitment to not only providing a resource that remains human-verified, but to the ongoing support of school districts in their work evaluating third-party education applications.
