The Innovation Library in Practice

The Innovation Library in Practice

This lightning talk describes the Evans Innovation Library and its purposes: exposing adult learners to new technologies, strengthening digital literacy, and providing space for guided exploration. It then focuses on how sessions were intentionally scheduled to encourage teacher participation and build comfort with the space, using available resources and realistic timelines. During guided sessions that were scheduled around specific activities, students also became aware of other technologies available in the space, such as AR tools, Esports setups, and additional resources, which often sparked questions and curiosity.
