I spent time in the poster sessions today. I think I want to spend more time in the posters next year because that is where the rubber hits the road with ISTE. I am always impressed with what other teachers and schools are doing with technology. Today I was at a third grade STEM booth, where a school partnered with a university and another school in Canada to compare the ecosystem of a yard of soil in their respective school yards. Another booth has high school students who build 20 ft steel rockets and launch them every year. Tim and I went to a booth where middle school girls created apps for their culinary class.
The other part of my last day that was rewarding was sitting down and helping a fellow tech director from Long Island. She was new to the job and had come from the teaching ranks and felt a bit overwhelmed. I shared with her what my journey was like and offered to stay in touch. I remember how it felt when other tech directors reached out to me.
