I am very pleased and excited to be able to attend ISTE this year. My school district is allowing me to attend and learn for the full 3 days! By paying my entrance fee I also receive a membership to ISTE which I think will definitely be useful as an educator and instructional tech student.
If anyone has any conference suggestions, those of you that have attended please let me know. It will be nice to have some of the techies from my district with me to explore the conference. The site claims that the exhibitors will be linked to the national standards, which ISTE seems to call NETS. I know New Jersey has their 21st Century Skills that they have created to incorporate technology, but I am interested in seeing how they compare with the national standards. Overall, most people say that New Jersey school systems are above most of the other states when it comes to education, it will be interesting to see how my curriculum and what I am learning at Stockton is represented at ISTE and what we can continue to add to since we all know how mailable tech ed can be!
