Big ideas and ed tech trends from ISTE 2013
I’m home and getting settled back in after the biggest ed tech conference of the year: ISTE, which was held this year in San Antonio, Texas, and attracted over 20,000 participants. I’ve already shared my notes on the inspiring ideas shared in the first Ignite session at ISTE and my summary from a session on integrating technology with limited classroom resources. This will be the last of the ISTE posts, so I’m going to cram in my big takeaways from the conference as well as a few random thoughts about how the event worked this year. Here we go! Everyone loves Instagram. Pinterest is gaining popularity as a way to collect and share resources. Google Glass has the biggest “wow” factor amongst the ed tech crowd since the first iPhone. The shift from tools to best practices has made major strides (or maybe I just picked better sessions this year.) ISTE is less about technology and more about education reform, transformation, and 21st century learning. You and I are the change makers.
