ISTE 2010 Wrap Up

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

This week many educators from around the world got together to share their love of learning with each other in Denver, CO for ISTE 2010.  Here’s a look at some of the posts from this week as well as some very valuable resources.

ISTE 2010 offered a plethora of choices when it came to sessions and each one was as important and enlightening as the others; the ISTE blog wrap-up posts are just as plentiful and just as insightful.

Since I, personally, wasn’t able to attend ISTE {Aparna did and said it was fantastic!}, I followed the action and learning via Twitter (#iste10).

Shelly Plock, TeachPaperless, has got a great group of blog posts concerning ISTE 2010, including another look at the importance of PLNs and some observations made while walking around at ISTE. He also wrote a fantastic past about using Twitter for Education and Leadership Connections.

The best content from ISTE 2010 as collected by Diigo.

ISTE Connects has a great short ISTE Recap video available.

While at ISTE, Aparna sat next to a Director of Technology and was able to, with the help of Twitter, convince him that Twitter is a great resource for education.

Angela Maiers wrote her reflections on the first day of ISTE in her post: Live from ISTE: Reflection from Day One (and Two…tryin’ to keep up!).

The Science Goddess shares her parting thoughts from ISTE 2010, including “What We Should Be Talking About” and “What has Mostly Been Talked About”.

Judy O’Connell from Hey Jude gives us an idea of what Excellence at ISTE really means and shares video of her own presentation.

Jelbin DelaCruz wrote a wonderful recap of his experience at ISTE 2010. Read Chris Lehmann’s ISTE Reflections as well. Chad Lehman’s ISTE Recap is also very interesting. He regrets that he didn’t talk to more people.

The above links are just a few, a VERY few, of the inspired thoughts from the 18,000+ amazing educators, students, and administrators that took time from their busy summer schedules to take part in ISTE 2010.

Please share your blog post links and comments with us. If we’ve missed someone or a great post you think needs to be added please leave it here in the comments.

ISTE 2010 Attendee List

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

As much as I could, I have curated the folks at ISTE 2010. These are people who tweeted about ISTE and attended. I included people who partiicpated via Twitter as well because I think they added valuable points to the discussion. With technology and its widespread use, plus, given that ISTE is about technology in Education, excluding those who weren’t physically present seems to go against the spirit of the conference.

I have used TweepML before and it is an excellent service. It makes it super simple to follow people who have same ideas, attended the same conference, etc. I did my best to curate the list for you. If you see someone that shouldn’t be there, please let me know at @parentella and I will remove them, leave a comment on this post, or simply Unfollow them.

It was a pleasure to meet many people in my PLN face to face and I look forward to more opportunities for sharing, learning, and evolving as a parent, an individual, and a person. I encourage you to follow these folks so invested in Education.

The lists are here:

  1. ISTE 2010 List 1
  2. ISTE 2010 List 2
  3. ISTE 2010 List 3
  4. ISTE 2010 List 4
  5. ISTE 2010 List 5
  6. ISTE 2010 List 6
  7. ISTE 2010 List 7

A few things to note about TweepML lists:

  • TweepML automatically follows people so all you have to do is click follow and it will do the trick.
  • It will eliminate people that you already follow and you don’t have to worry about duplicate names on the list. It will only follow people once.

Follow folks, be followed back! Hope you had a great time at ISTE 2010 and see you in Philadelphia.

Back Channel ISTE Keynote Conversation

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Back Channel Twitter Conversation at ISTE 2010

The opening keynote was by Jean-Francois Rischard. He talked about Global Problem-Solving and the critical Role of Educators and Technology for I wasn’t there to attend it but I heard so much about it that I had to read about it. In essence, a lot of people didn’t like the keynote and provided the feedback via the back channel. Except, it seemed that it wasn’t thoughtful, kind, or constructive. I felt like even though I wasn’t there, I was present for it just by listening to people talk about it.

Some questions came to mind as I am writing about it.

  1. The tweets by the people: Won’t they become their digital footprint?
  2. Did people behave professionally, and, above all, kindly?
  3. When does feedback cross the line? Is there a line?
  4. Do you think how feedback is provided makes a difference?

Here are some posts that you might enjoy reading about the Back Channel Conversation

The first one is by Scott McLeod: ISTE 2010 – Some early takes on the opening keynote (and on conference attendees’ behavior). He talks about the backchannel Twitter conversation post the opening keynote at ISTE.

A really great recap of the keynote itself by Sylvia: The ISTE opening keynote – what I wish had been said.

Michelle Baldwin wrote another really nice article asking very thoughtful questions. Should one research their audience before presenting? If they don’t, then are they fair game? Read her post here Message and Delivery.

Ann Leaness wrote a brilliant post called Backchannel or Bashchannel. It is a *must* read.

I will add more posts about the back channel conversation about the keynote.

ISTE 2010

Monday, June 28th, 2010

With ISTE 2010 getting under way today, we at Parentella wanted to provide you with an up-to-date resource for the latest live blogging from participants there.

Gerald Aungst from Quisitivity.org gives us an inside look at some of the themes emerging from ISTE 2010 and gives us a summary of his first day at ISTE 2010.

Shelly Blake-Plock, TeachPaperless.com, has been live blogging ISTE 2010 since his departure early this morning and has amassed a great group of ISTE 2010 posts on subjects ranging from Twitter for Education to the many “looks” of ISTE 2010.

Tim Childers, TimChilders.com, gives us a look at how he gears up for ISTE 2010 and why he thinks Epson’s new Bright Link Projector is impressive.

Melanie Holtsman, LIVEfromthecreek, takes her readers inside ISTE + TIE Leadership Bootcamp and gives us a run-down of

Will Richardson’s discussion on how teaching social networks might save the world.

David Warlick from CoLearners gives us a look at what he calls “The ‘Native’ Information Experience”.

Paula Naugle shows us how to relax with her PLN before ISTE 2010 and shares some beautiful mountain photography.

Kyle Pace reminds us not to forget the people of our PLN and enjoy the time spent “learning, laughing, leading”.

I hope if you’re lucky enough to be at ISTE 2010 this year you’re enjoying yourself and learning as much as possible. If you’re unable to be there, you can still follow the buzz on Twitter and on ISTE vision.
