Are we truly preparing students for the future of work if they have no say in the tools they use to learn? What happens when we invite students to the technology decision-making table? In an era where digital literacy defines career readiness, who decides which technologies shape our campus experience? This presentation panel explores the critical intersection between student technology preferences and workplace demands. Through case studies and research findings, we'll examine how institutions that incorporate student voices in technology decisions see improved digital literacy outcomes and stronger professional development pathways. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of collaborative technology governance that bridges academic environments with workplace realities. Discover practical frameworks for technology selection that honor both student needs and institutional objectives while building the digital competencies employers demand.
