ISTE Conference

As we are using the ISTE framework as a guidling resource in our technology integration plans I thought this post from Jenny Luca who attended the ISTE conference in Denver was worth sharing.


Some interesting points from Jenny's reflections:

  • 17000 attendees - that's a big conference!
  • Lots of discussion about iPad as an educational tool with advantages like battery life countered by flaws like not being able to edit google docs
  • razzle dazzle at the conference – bands playing to introduce keynote speakers
  • digital literacy a focus of many sessions – The art of crap detection 101 being a highlight
  • Microsoft guide to digital literacy 'critical thinking in the classroom'
  • something about twitter hashtags which I don't really get

Jenny's poster presentation on ning can be found here.
