Educational Technology Conference ISTE

The International Society for Technology in Education Conference (ISTE) is the premier membership association for educators and education leaders engaged in improving teaching and learning by advancing the effective use of technology in PK–12 and teacher education. ISTE is home to the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), and ISTE's annual conference and exposition, (formerly known as NECC). ISTE represents more than 100,000 professionals worldwide.

Can't be at the conference this year? You can still participate in many ways: You can follow ISTE events via our wiki, Twitter, ISTE Mobile app, ISTE Nings, ISTE-Vision, Facebook, etc.
I am particularly excited about the ISTE mobile app.

Using the free ISTE Mobile app, conference goers can network with other educators, get up-to-the-minute news through blogs and Twitter updates, and gain access to a valuable set of educational resources such as ISTE's ed tech standards, articles, and podcasts.

Teachers who are not attending ISTE will find the app a useful way to connect and feel part of the conference. Find sessions, links to resources, and a community of teachers interested in technology!

It really is amazing how we can all stay connected even if we're not in the same space. CompassLearning has been attending ISTE for many years and each year we learn about new, cool features that are out there for educators. We are booth #1062, stop by and tell us what new thing has you excited! If you can't make it there, follow us on Twitter, @compasslearning, to get hints on our Tweet-up reception during ISTE. Its going to be GREAT!
