#ISTE13 My Take On Day 2 (Sunday, June 23)

Well Day 2 consisted of meeting new people and networking to build my PLN. The greatest impact of the #ISTE13 conference is creating those relationship with educational leaders who share in the same passion to turn education up side down using technology as the mechanism. Some of the ideas I gained are listed below.

Augmented Reality with @techbradwaid using Aurasma and Daqri really cool stuff.

Google Glass demo with STEMbite's Andrew Vanden Heuval (@avheuv ) Ok, I must have a pair if not just as another toy.

The rest of the day was used discovering the SIGs (Special Interest Groups...OMG there are a ton, but all set up as advocates for special technology in education. I joined several.

The Ignite Sessions finished of the evening. Some very interesting ideas and educational trends were introduced and elaborated on including the following:

Michelle Cordy - Hacking The Classroom

Michael Mills - the digital divide: narrowing the gap. Everyone deserves access to empowerment. (Trust but verify)

@wfryer - opening digital doors using scratch to redefine geek: geek is cool. Story chasing: amplifying school stories. Journalism club to amplify happenings around school.


Jeff Piontek - STEM education. STEM to STEAM (A for arts) STREAM.

 Carrie Ross @msrossenglish technology as a gateway to what each student knows.

 Dean : silly to creativity.

 Allison White curating information overload.

Great Day 2
