What Impact Will You Make?

Designers for Learning is hosting a booth at the Association for Educational Communication & Technology (AECT) annual convention in the exhibitor area from Tuesday, October 18th through Friday, October 21st. As a nonprofit with a service-learning mission, our focus is on educational impact. If you will be at the conference, please stop by to share your stories of educational impact (your past successes, current initiatives, and planned innovations). During the conference, keep an eye on social media where we will post your stories under the hashtag #EdImpact16.
