We are building a new Upper School building and are considering the various options for a Language Learning Center where students might have a hard-wired environment (distantly related to the more traditional language lab using Sanako 1200 Series)
or where we might go wireless/mobile using a site license (we're not sure if good wireless options exist in software) and we want to ensure that the investment will provide for future technical innovations. We have seen how wireless language labs
seem to have many issues--particularly with AP exams and National Language Exams. Given that Broadcasting Studios are now mobile, is there an environment that you have experience with that can provide language learning (even a virtual lab for
languages we might not offer) that can interface with Blackboard, is cutting edge, and easy to maintain, would you please let me know.
We are also looking at investing in a set of IPod Touches for the language lab.
We are a 1:1 environment (pcs and macs) from 6th to 12th.
Thanks,
Joan
