My three days at NECC were typical. My brain is about to explode and the sessions are a blur, because I'm forgetting faster then I can remember. My calves are tied in knots so tight that the Gordian Knot is a loose shoe string in comparison. There were friends I didn't get to see and sessions I couldn't attend without breaking the laws of physics, but I loved every minute of it!
There wasn't enough time to even attempt a quarter of what I would have liked to accomplish, but thanks to ISTE Vision TV I can continue to attend NECC all summer long and attend sessions and keynotes I missed. It's like NECC On Demand!
ISTE cameras were capturing highlight, sessions, spotlight sessions, and keynotes. They are all online. The amount of educational brainpower and creativity that ISTE has made available, is like a national education treasure.
(FWIW) There have been many people and many organizations who have been trying to drive change in schools, but this video collection is one of the most signficant contributions I've seen in my 30 years of teaching. Many of the spotlight sessions featured folks who have been preaching change for the past decade or more. We are at the point where people are actually listening and ISTE has made it possible for everyone to reap the benefits of their experience.
Over the summer, I hope to watch many of the presentations that I attended in person and many others that I missed. As I watch them I'll be embed the video here and provide my two cents to help spread the word.
